Fighting fatigue November 1st 2007 PING Europe has installed COBA's Fatigue Fighter II matting at its head office and manufacturing operation in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. PING employees, such as those pictured in the Iron Cells 1 and 2 shafting area spend the vast majority of their working day standing. Installation of matting has been initiated to reduce fatigue from standing on a hard floor surface, creating a more comfortable environment for PING employees to carry out their daily tasks. Fatigue Fighter II is an anti-fatigue mat featuring a tough PVC foam top surface for resilient wear and tear, and a low-density bottom layer to provide the cushioning underfoot. This fused, dual layered mat has been designed to reduce pressure from standing especially to the feet, legs and lower back, and is available in black, blue or green in a variety of widths and lengths. A recent scientific study commissioned by COBA and conducted by Loughborough University suggest that anti-fatigue mats can significantly increase comfort to workers who stand for prolonged periods and also help to reduce fatigue.
