Orthomaster #1 has boosted the moral of our workers who stand on their feet for 8 and 12 hour shift on our production lines. Having stood on old hard mats for the past number of years workers were highly delighted with the new cushioned feel under their feet. The soft cushioned feel under the feet located at key production line stations, in conjunction with good work boots Orthomaster #1 is contributing to reducing back and leg pain from static positions. Being in the food industry the mats are ideal to keep in line with our food quality requirements and keep our customers happy. Our cleaners have noticed that they are much lighter to maneuver and are very easy to keep clean. Being solid mats they have also helped keep areas looking presentable as our previous mats had the holes in them and collated dust and dirt in the holes. Our workers definitely appreciate the new anti fatigue matting compared to the old and find them much more comfortable. I have even heard one person say they were too soft! I believe our cleaning cost have remained the same however we get a much cleaner product using the solid mats so this is benefit. I love these mats they are fantastic. Once one department got them and the word spread it wasn’t long before another department came asking me for the details to place an order.”
