With Industrial Floor Mats, You Can Keep Trucking Along

A mat is a mat — right? Wrong!

Although we rarely pay much attention to the mats scattered around our homes and our workplaces, each performs a particular function to make the facility safer.

Industrial floor mats are one of the easier ways to keep floors dry and conditions tidy. In fact, OSHA 1910.22 dictates good floor housekeeping around the workplace. Including the requirements that:

“the floor of every workroom shall be maintained in a clean and, so far as possible, a dry condition. Where wet processes are used, drainage shall be maintained, and false floors, platforms, mats, or other dry standing places should be provided where practicable.”
