General Mat Company have released new anti-fatigue and safety mats to help employers meet occupational health and safety obligations in wet and dry areas of workplaces.
GMC Workmate No 824 anti-fatigue and safety mat features a combination of large holes for better drainage and 12mm-thick soft rubber construction for enhanced comfort in applications such as industrial workstations, maintenance benches and food preparation and service areas.
The GMC Workmate No 824 is a multi-purpose mat with wide borders and bevelled edges for safety and stability. It is an addition to GMC’s 24/7 570 with holes and 24/7572 solid top matting systems, which provide modular safety and anti-fatigue solutions for both wet and greasy areas.
The 24/7 modular designs plug together through a hidden interlocking system, to fit into spaces of different shapes (around corners, behind counters, underneath workstations and in odd-shaped production areas.)
The GMC Workmate No 824 anti-fatigue and safety mat is a stand-alone product that can be used singly or in multiples. Available in black (grease resistant) or terracotta (grease proof), the GMC Workmate No 824 anti-fatigue and safety mat comes in stock units of 900 x 1500mm, which provides an entry-level quality solution to addressing safety issues arising frequently in the workplace.
The GMC Workmate No 824 anti-fatigue and safety mat was recently subjected to CSIRO’s tests for slip resistance classification on new pedestrian surfaces. It was one of six GMC mats tested by the CSIRO, all of which passed the tests conducted on wet and dry surfaces to AS/NZS 4585:1999.
