Testimonials: Food & Beverage

“This is the only mat we have been able to get passed the quality dept, so from a safety and quality side it is a very good mat. We have also recommended the mat to other national foods sites – some of which are now using this mat. I have no problem recommending this mat to other business and have done so. We have had favourable comments from visiting safety practitioners. As there is a lot of standing on concrete floors, it helps with the fatigue on their legs and knees. We have an aging workforce so this is of great benefit. The staff love it and say it is the best mat we have ever had. The cleaners have also given it the thumbs up as they are light enough to pick up and clean. They are easy to clean. Yes they do comment on the comfort as well as visitors that have seen them. These orthomaster mats have definitely helped with engagement of our people and we have not had one negative word from any employee. Before these mats we had been told that all mats from the factory would have to go because of quality concerns. We now have a happy work force because of your anti fatigue matting.”

“Our staff alternate sitting and standing positions and find standing positions much more comfortable with the Orthomaster mats. We started with a small number of the orthomaster kitchen floor mats to trial and as more areas heard about them, we received many requests for them. Comfort while working is hugely important to our team and we do our best to ensure we provide this. When our people are comfortable they feel more positive about their work and this helps us keep our site culture positive. Our production teams manage their own periodic cleans, and noted the light weight of these mats compared to others we’ve used. Their ability to withstand washing with hot water is also a great benefit to us. Everyone who stands on the sample mat I keep in the OHS office comments on how soft and supportive it feels.”

“Orthomaster mats have benefited our business from an OHS, Quality and Sanitation point of view. Orthomaster mats are light weight making it easier for our people to handle them, and are comfortable from a comfort mat point of view, for our operators to stand on at their work stations for long periods of time. These mats are an asset not a liability to the quality team due to their Antimicrobial properties which since their introduction to our filling rooms and cooker floor these mats have helped us eliminate comfort mats as a harborage point from the above stated areas.

Staff feedback has been positive in regards to these mats due to them being light weight making cleaning easier to move around while cleaning. Being one piece with no holes, these mats are easier to clean and eliminate cheese build over the course of a week’s production. All in all these mats are a leap forward in comfort mats due to being light weight & antibacterial.”

“Our staff are very enthusiastic about the Orthomaster mat. It gave better relief over long periods of standing and our staff now specifically ask for this mat. It also provides good slip protection. Quality has also approved it for use in a food manufacturing / GMP environment.”

“I have been working on Orthomaster anti fatigue kitchen mats for years now. Professionals in the bar industry are quite frankly getting older and we are all looking for ways to be more kind to our bodies. Working on top of the Orthomaster mats is kind on the ankles and knees and even gives greater lifespan to shoes. I don’t wear through 4 pairs of shoes per year anymore. Many thanks”

“Mats are going extremely well…. everyone (and their legs and feet) love them! I talk them up all the time!”

“Improved employee comfort levels and safety standards. Better comfort levels for employees working on packing line. Cleaning is a lot easier with the light weight matting and soilage is easily removed. There has been definite positive feedback from staff with respect to comfort levels. We would consider future purchases of the Orthomaster mats.”

“I was getting some comments from a few colleges about our new mats, it seems they are very well received. Having to stand on concrete all day does make your legs and feet sore by the end of the week, it seems that people have been feeling much better after standing some of the day on your ORTHOMASTER mats. Being so light weight they are easy to roll up as we constantly have to clean our work stations and hose down the floors. Once word gets out, I’m sure there will be more orders for the other production hall

It was refreshing to be dealing with an Australian company and Genuine, Salt of the earth people such as you and Dan. So thanks for your visit and Thanks for being able to supply us with relieving ORTHOMASTER mats.”

“The difference it has made to how they feel after each shift is massive, you have made our fillers very happy. So thank you for contacting me and offering me a trial mat”

“Thank you for the follow up. The guys on the floor very impressed. The Orthomaster mats have held up well in our working environment. I am actually looking to purchase another mat.”

“The mat is easy to clean, compared to the current mats with holes. The solid piece design does not trap pieces and scraps of meat like to mats with the holes. It is also lighter compared to the old mats. It takes the cleaning process, hot and soapy.”

“As the supervisor, many operators asked if they can have this or a similar mat, after walking over or standing on it for a while. This mat will be removed under duress once the trial is completed.”

“It is a very good mat. No slip when stepping onto the mat, even under wet conditions. It does tend to creep during the day, but it might be just the combination of the slopped surface and the wet conditions. The devilled edges made it so that the mat is not a trip hazard when stepping on or off the mat. Best mat that I have used in the 35 years on the job. It is also light weight and easy to clean. Sawmen would benefit from this size mat.”

“We want it. Made a big difference minimizing the jolts of the rise and fall stands. Relieved the pain felt in back.”

“Excellent. Was good for my feet, knees, hips and back. The mat was good at minimizing the jars and stops of the rise and fall stand at the bottom and top of the stand. Keen to have it back today.”

“Quite good. Good on the legs and feet. Body felt good going home at the end of the day. Noticed a big difference when it was removed after the trial. Can I have it back.”

“We installed U-TREDs on our rail crossover, this access way is used frequently daily and has had a positive response from the users on the product installed. We decided to install 2 rows of anti slip U-Tred per step in this instance as a trial run. I believe that maybe one row would suffice. A great savings per tread when we are looking at hundreds.”

“Thanks for your time to show us about U-TRED. They are a great product. The employees install them and say they look neat & tidy. Have installed 1000 at present with more to purchase & install.”

“We have got them on a step and the fitters are very happy with the ease of install and idea behind it.”

“The UTred product recommended by your company and purchased by Talley’s is an excellent product. It is well made, easy to install and has excellent non slip grip for all the steps in our factory. A lot of the staff have made positive comments, especially where we use large quantities of water during factory wash down, making it safer to use the steps.
I would certainly recommend this to others as an excellent practical and safe way for metal steps. Thank you for your communication and professional attitude. We look forward to your continued support.”
