UK farm chooses Vynagrip matting to protect workers from fatigue | Plastex

Vynagrip protects farm workers from fatigue


A family-owned produce farm wanted a slip-resistant surface solution to help protect their standing employees from injury and fatigue.

The problem

Alan Bartlett and Sons is a family-owned company specializing in the large scale supply of carrots and parsnips. The crops are grown on its own farms and then processed and packed at a state-of-the-art factory at Chatteris in Cambridgeshire, UK. The workers handling the produce were spending long hours standing on the chequer plate metal floor that surrounded the production lines, resulting in fatigue and discomfort. The floor was also a slip hazard when wet.

The checklist

  • Sits flush against machinery and production lines
  • Provides anti-fatigue properties and comfort underfoot
  • Quickly drains and dissipates spilled liquids
  • Can be easily rolled up for daily cleaning
  • Supplied in long rolls and provides a one piece covering

The solution

We recommended Vynagrip, our hard-wearing matting that delivers both slip resistance and anti-fatigue properties. The two-layer construction provides comfortable cushioning, plus anti-fatigue properties proven to help boost productivity. Certified slip resistant, it has a diamond cut pattern for excellent grip underfoot, and an open grid for fast drainage and fall through.

The mat's non-porous PVC construction is naturally resistant to bacteria growth, making it ideal for workplaces where food is being processed. Easy to cut to fit on site, Vynagrip sits flush against the processing lines and provides a seamless one-piece covering.

“This matting has really helped to overcome the problems our factory team was facing. We were getting reports that it was uncomfortable for them having to stand for long periods so we needed to find something that would make it more comfortable. This matting has worked really well. It’s also safer and reduces the risk of slipping, which is another great benefit.”
