Guides
Three guides, not thirty. Everything here is something we would say to you on the phone.
- Are anti-fatigue mats required by law in the UK?
No, and here is what the law does require instead. Section 2 of the 1974 Act, regulation 3 of the Management Regulations, regulation 12 of the Workplace Regulations, and where HSE actually name matting as a control. Quoted from legislation.gov.uk rather than paraphrased. - What thickness of anti-fatigue matting do you need?
Why thickness is the number that does the work, what the UK market actually sells, and where paying for 25mm is a waste of money. - How to lay a workstation kit
Ten minutes, no tools, no adhesive. The sequence, the two things people get wrong, and how to lift it again for cleaning.
The two tools
- Sizing calculator. One measurement in, one kit size out. The whole decision table is published on the page, so you can use the logic without the widget.
- Standing cost calculator. What absence at your standing positions costs, and the number of days a year matting would have to prevent to pay for itself. It does not claim a reduction, because nobody can evidence one.
