Vynagrip protects farm workers from fatigue
To protect their standing employees from injury and fatigue, a family-run produce farm in the UK looked to food processing flooring options for a solution.
The problem
Alan Bartlett and Sons is a family-owned UK company that deals in the large scale supply of carrots and parsnips. Grown on the company’s farms, the crops are then processed and packed at a state-of-the-art factory at Chatteris in Cambridgeshire. Workers handling the produce spend long hours standing, and the checker plate metal floor that surrounded the production lines was resulting in fatigue and discomfort. The floor also created a slip hazard when wet.
The checklist
- Sits flush against machinery and production lines
- Provides anti-fatigue properties and is comfortable underfoot
- Quickly drains and disperses spilled liquids
- Can be easily rolled up for daily cleaning
- Supplied in long rolls and provides a one piece covering
The solution
For food processing flooring, we recommend Vynagrip, our hard-wearing heavy-duty matting that ticks all the boxes. The two-layer construction offers comfortable cushioning underfoot, and its anti-fatigue properties are proven to help boost productivity. Certified slip resistant, it features a diamond cut pattern for added traction and an open grid for fast drainage and fall through.
The mat's non-porous PVC construction is naturally resistant to bacteria growth, making it ideal for workplaces where food is being processed. Easy to cut to fit on site,
Vynagrip sits flush against processing lines and delivers a seamless one-piece covering.
