Do you work in conditions that are often wet or contaminated with substances that increase the risk of slips and falls? You need anti-slip mats. These mats are designed to increase traction, prevent liquid from forming puddles and provide cushioning, creating not only a safe but comfortable working environment. Typically characterised by their channels, holes and textured surfaces, anti-slip workplace mats displace any liquids on the floor, providing a raised area to walk on without the fear of slipping. Plus, these elevated mats reduce fatigue with their natural cushioning properties, similar to anti-fatigue mats but with the added benefit of an anti-slip design. From the COBAscrape Oil Resistant Anti-Slip mat to the COBAmat Workstation mat and Unimat, shop our extensive collection of anti-slip workplace matting to find one that meets your unique needs.
Prevent Workplace Accidents with Anti-Slip Workplace Matting
Anti-slip mats stop the pooling of liquid and offer anti-fatigue properties through their intricate designs. Whether your chosen mat has cutouts, raised patterns, grooves or abrasive particles, anti-slip matting works by increasing traction offering you extra grip on slippy surfaces. Plus, designs such as the COBAmat Workstation mat include drainage holes that allow substances to flow underneath the mat, creating a fluid-free walking surface that minimises falls.

FAQs
Do anti-slip mats work?
Yes, anti-slip mats significantly reduce workplace slip and fall incidents by providing enhanced traction through textured surfaces and specialised materials that maintain grip even when wet. Plus, with the addition of drainage holes, any liquids can easily drain off the walking surface allowing you to walk with ease.
How long do anti-slip mats last?
Commercial-grade anti-slip mats typically last between 2-5 years depending on foot traffic, exposure to chemicals and environmental conditions. Heavy-duty rubber or vinyl options in moderate traffic settings can last toward the higher end of this range, while those in harsh industrial environments with oils or chemicals may require replacement every two years.
Where do you put anti-slip mats?
Anti-slip mats should be placed in high-risk areas prone to moisture or spills, including building entrances, industrial workstations, commercial kitchens and around machinery that uses lubricants. They’re also essential in transition zones between different flooring surfaces, on ramps and anywhere else employees regularly walk across potentially slippery surfaces.
