Specialised Safety Mats
Rubber matting rolls, welding mat, clean roon tacky mat, conductive mat and non conductive mat, these mats all serve a specific purpose. More commonly a nescessity than a luxury these mats are designed with industrial application in mind to help every worksite reach the best in occupational health and safety and to protect not only workers but the floors and equipment being worked on. As each application differs, why not give us a call if you require custom sizes. PH: 1300 659 518 for more advice.
Establishments with the need to choose their matting according to chemicals being used, will find this chart valuable in the correct decision making process.
NON-CONDUCTIVE:
Most commonly called Switchboard matting, our non-conductive mats insulate workers, protecting them from deadly shocks generated by high voltage equipment. These mats are tested and proven to have a high Dielectric strength. However, the maximum recommended voltage exposure is much less to provide a large margin of safety. This is important since the switchboard mats are true safety mats, designed to save employees lives.
CONDUCTIVE:
Conductive mats are designed to protect sensitive equipment by quickly drawing the static off workers before they touch susceptible chemicals or apparatus. Humans quickly generate static electricity by walking or using chairs with casters. Then, with a simple touch, the electricity is passed to sensitive equipment such as computers. One shock can destroy internal micro-chips or cause a fire if in contact with flammable chemicals. To eliminate these hazards, we offer both Electricity Conductive and Static Dissipative mats. Conductive mats disperse the static electricity quicker than static dissipative mats. Therefore, the most basic rule of thumb is that Conductive mats should be used around very sensitive components. All conductive and dissipative matting must be grounded to be effective.
