ANTI-FATIGUE MATTING MAKES STANDING EASY

Anty Fatigue FlooringTuff Spun is one of a range of anti-fatigue mattings, launched by Plastic Extruders Ltd (Plastex).  The matting provides an effective solution designed to meet a health initiative of The Trades Union Congress.  This is aimed at encouraging employers to improve the health of employees who normally stand for long periods on hard floors

Tuff Spun comprises high quality closed cell PVC foam with a ribbed slip resistant surface which induces muscle flexing in the legs and calf, improves personal well-being and significantly reduces standing fatigue.  University research for Plastex on standing fatigue showed a 10% reduction in just one hour.  The matting is recommended for all areas where workers must stand, such as workstations, packaging and processing areas. Tuff Spun Plus is similar but with yellow edges for safety demarcation.

Capturing International Attention – a Conference on Facility Management

In Built to Last, authors Jim Collins and Jerry I. Porras determined that one factor in distinguishing a great company from a good one was what they called having “Big Hairy Audacious Ideas.” 

Companies that set almost inconceivable, outlandish goals tended to outperform those companies that toed the line and acted conservatively.  CWorks Systems, an 8-year-old software development company of CMMS (computerized maintenance management systems) with headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is one company that believes in and is following this “big idea” road to success.
