WHAT’S NEW?
CUSTOM LENGTH ANTI- FATIGUE MATS NOW
AVAILABLE FROM FIRST MATS Birmingham-based safety matting specialists, First Mats, have expanded their range of anti-fatigue mats, which includes various custom sized versions for their customers.
Anti-fatigue mats are commonly used in the workplace to provide comfort for employees who are on their feet all day; typically working at a lathe, workbench, or in packaging area roles along with standing desk users. Many suppliers only offer anti-fatigue mats in a limited range of standard sizes, which, although fine for individual workstations, is not ideal for larger working areas such as production lines or manufacturing cells.
The First Mats range includes anti- fatigue mats in various roll widths, usually 90cm or 120cm. Customers can choose their required length in centimetres, and First Mats will cut the mat accordingly, professionally finishing the edges to guarantee a top- quality product.

ERGOSENSE ADOPTS THINGSTREAM FOR GLOBAL
FM SOLUTION By combining Thingstream’s globally available IoT Communication-as-a- Service solution with Ergosense’s suite of measurement and monitoring devices, there is now a secure, reliable and cost predictable option to help gain efficiencies when managing facilities.
Ergosense’s devices help identify and manage efficiencies within the workspace. It became clear that to connect devices that measure temperature, air quality, decibels, light, and occupancy, connecting to the premises through Wi-Fi was too complicated, posed numerous security questions and was ultimately unreliable.

effect is largely caused by increased pressure on the leg joints and the pooling of blood in the lower limbs, which can exacerbate existing circulatory problems. This can lead to increased ill-health in employees and lost productivity for employers.
However, when standing on an anti-fatigue mat, the leg muscles are made active by the small movements that the worker makes unconsciously in order to remain upright. That muscle activity helps to encourage better blood circulation, thus reducing the effects of fatigue.
The range of anti-fatigue mats that First Mats supplies have been specially developed to combat the effects of fatigue, providing a more comfortable working environment that ultimately leads to improved staff morale and increased productivity.
First Mats’ range of anti-fatigue mats comes in a variety of materials to suit
different workplace environments. The range includes popular foam-based options that are both lightweight and low in price. More durable and versatile versions, including closed-cell and vinyl topped matting, are available for use in more challenging environments where oil spillages or fire safety risks present a hazard to workers.
