Why the Need for Anti-Fatigue Mats? The uses and benefits.

Standing for extended periods of time can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which are the most prevalent work-related conditions in the EU. Almost half (45%) of EU workers report feeling tired from standing at work.

MSDs can cause discomfort in muscles, joints, and bones, resulting in restricted movement and reduced productivity.

In 2021/22 MSDs accounted for 27% of all work related ill health cases. (source: HSE Work-related ill health and occupational disease in Great Britain)

Anti-Fatigue mats have been scientifically proven to help reduce problems associated with MSDs.
