Vynagrip matting has been installed
for the safety of workers at Alan
Bartlett and Sons, a family-owned
farm in Chatteris that specialises in
large scale supply of carrots and
parsnips.

The matting, made in the UK by
Plastic Extruders, has been laid
along production lines where pickers
inspect the vegetables, as well as
beside cutting and packing machinery.

Vynagrip was chosen as the existing
chequer plate floor was uncomfortable
for the workers who stand for long
periods and it was slippery when wet.

Vynagrip’s cushioning properties
give added comfort underfoot, while
its deeply etched surface make it slipresistant
to DIN 51130 – R11. Opengrid
construction allows liquid spills
and production waste to fall through,
further reducing the risk of spills.
