Some workplaces pose the threat of electrical shock; our range of electrical safety matting can help protect your workers by insulating electrical currents. This prevents the current from grounding, cuts the circuit and prevents shocks from occurring.
Anti-static mats in Melbourne operate slightly differently in that they allow the current to pass through rather than blocking it completely. A built-up current is at risk of suddenly discharging.
Electrical safety matting in Melbourne is a legal requirement for certain professions, such as electricians, however, they should be employed by anyone who works with electricity. Conductive products can offer protection up to 30,000 volts, whilst non-conductive products offer protection up to 1000 volts.
The surface of our mats is also able to withstand molten metal and sparks up to 150 degrees Celsius for up to 3 seconds. This makes them a popular choice amongst welders.
Rubber anti-static mats allow static electricity that is built up in the body to be harmlessly discharged (to prevent sparks, shocks, and even explosions). As well as protecting workers from static electricity, they're important for protecting sensitive equipment (which is at risk from dirt and malfunction).
The use of rubber mats for electrical safety in the workplace offers a number of benefits; some of the main ones include:
On top of this, our anti-static mats also offer anti-fatigue and non-slip properties to further improve the safety of your workers, contractors, and other visitors.
Standard sizes & longer lengths available
Conductive & non-conductive products
Some products supplied with earthing cords & plugs
Mats designed for switch boards & static controlBardwell Matting supplies a range of anti-static dissipative products that can be earthed and plugged into a power point, allowing the flow of static electricity. This can help to significantly reduce the occurrence of unpleasant static zaps.
Care must be taken when working in areas that are exposed to excessive electricity levels, such as a switchboard. We have a product known as Switchboard Matting, which is designed to help protect workers from an electrical surge or shock.
This type of matting is, fortunately, quite easy to clean and maintain. Simply give them a vacuum or a wipe down with a damp cloth for more stubborn grime. For more thorough cleaning instructions, please see individual products.
There are several areas in almost any workplace that could call for the use of electrical matting, including: switchboards, power plants, power transmission rooms, electrical substations, high voltage panels, lift control rooms, and areas where electrical panels or wires will be worked on.
Static build-up can pull dust into those tiny spaces in your equipment. The resulting dirt build-up can lead to overheating or failure. Even low-cost equipment can be damaged by static - it causes it to stick together, attracts dust, or may otherwise malfunction.
