People who stand at assembly,
inspection, sorting, picking and
packing operations for more than 2-
3hrs a day can experience significant
physical stress and fatigue as a result.

Typical symptoms are swollen or
painful feet, stiffness in the joints,
discomfort in the shoulders and
neck, lower back pain, and tiredness.

These problems can undermine the
motivation and productivity of the
workforce and often lead to
increased absenteeism.

The Diamond-Plate 415 Anti-
Fatigue Matting from Wearwell,
reduces standing fatigue by as much
as 50%.
