The Safety and Health expo is just around the corner and takes place at ExCel London on the 18th – 20th June. Since 2014, we have been taking part in this event, showcasing our innovating health and safety matting solutions. This year we’ll be proudly presenting our ground-breaking product, Waterhog Forklift Mats on stand SH4060.
Waterhog Forklift Mats @ Safety and Health Expo
Forklift Trucks are used worldwide for logistic operations, so there will be many visitors to SHExpo that understand the issues that Forklift Trucks can bring to facilities. Forklift Trucks allow dirt and water to migrate into buildings on their wheels. Overtime, trails of water and dirt starts forming around entranceways and/or loading bays. This can lead to slip and fall accidents, or forklifts skidding with potentially serious consequences.
On our stand SH4060, we aim to educate visitors on how and why our Waterhog Forklift Mats are the answer for this common issue. Waterhog Forklift Mats scrapes dirt and absorbs moisture from forklift wheels. Not only does this prevent forklift skidding, falls and slips, but it ensures a clean and safe facility for workers and visitors.

Why Mats4U Believes Matting Plays a Key Role in Safety
At Mats4U, we understand that safety is paramount in any environment, whether it’s a bustling commercial space, a serene office, or a busy industrial facility. Recently, we had the opportunity to showcase our range of mats at a safety expo, where we highlighted the critical role that matting plays in ensuring safety. In this blog, we’ll delve into why we believe matting is essential for safety and how our products contribute to creating safer environments.
The Importance of Safety
Safety is a fundamental concern for businesses and organizations across all sectors. Ensuring the well-being of employees, customers, and visitors is not only a moral obligation but also a legal requirement. Accidents and injuries can lead to significant financial costs, legal liabilities, and damage to a company’s reputation. Therefore, implementing effective safety measures is crucial to prevent accidents and create a secure environment.
How Matting Enhances Safety
Matting is a simple yet highly effective solution for enhancing safety in various settings. Here are some key ways in which matting contributes to safety:
-
Preventing Slips and Falls: Slips and falls are among the most common causes of workplace injuries. Wet or slippery floors can pose significant hazards, especially in high-traffic areas. Our mats are designed to provide a non-slip surface that reduces the risk of slips and falls. By absorbing moisture and providing traction, our mats help keep floors dry and safe, preventing accidents and injuries.
-
Trapping Dirt and Moisture: One of the primary functions of entrance mats is to trap dirt, dust, and moisture from shoes, preventing them from being tracked indoors. This not only keeps floors clean but also reduces the risk of slips caused by wet or dirty surfaces. Our mats are highly effective at capturing debris, ensuring that your floors remain safe and clean.
-
Providing Cushioning and Support: For employees who spend long hours on their feet, standing on hard surfaces can lead to fatigue and discomfort. Anti-fatigue mats provide cushioning and support, reducing the strain on the feet, legs, and lower back. By improving comfort and reducing fatigue, these mats enhance safety by helping employees stay alert and focused.
-
Protecting Flooring: Heavy foot traffic and the movement of equipment can cause wear and tear on flooring, leading to uneven surfaces and potential tripping hazards. Our mats act as a protective barrier, preventing damage to the underlying floors and maintaining a safe walking surface. This is particularly important in industrial settings where heavy machinery and equipment are used.
-
Enhancing Visibility: In areas with poor lighting or where visibility is a concern, mats with high-visibility colors or patterns can help prevent accidents. These mats draw attention to potential hazards and guide people safely through the space. By enhancing visibility, our mats contribute to a safer environment.
