Spark resistant mats are an important component of welding safety and ergonomics. Spark and heat-resistant mats (or welding mats) are used in any environment that sees sparks, hot shards, or small ignitions in industrial, commercial, or home welding activities. Here are some things to consider when buying a welding mat.
Welding Mats Should Offer Ergonomic, Anti-Fatigue Benefits
Welding mats, heavy spark resistance mats, and fireproof mats have increased in quality in recent years and now offer top class anti-fatigue and ergonomic support for welders. A quality mat with heavy spark resistance should easily last 3-5 years, provide heat, spark, and fire resistance, and reduce stress on the joints of welders, workers, or team members. Choosing a welding matting solution that checks all those boxes keeps employees feeling refreshed and ready to work. Providing optimal anti-fatigue and safety to your workplace will increase worker productivity and decrease absenteeism.
Welding Mats Should Prevent Fires
Welding environments are high risk for fire/heat related accidents. While welding workstations are set up to avoid fires, additional protection can be provided through fireproof mats giving space for sparks to dissipate. Fireproof matting is a safety product and an ergonomic product.
Welding Mats Should Resist Hot Metal Shards
Shards can settle on the mats numerous times during just one shift and your mat needs to be up to the challenge. Whether you call it a welding safety mat, metal shard mat, or a cutting metal mat, spark resistant mats benefit workers and companies all at once. The floor and other operations are protected, making the area safer and cleaner for a win-win from rubber welding matting.
