The Mat Group Anti-Fatigue and Industrial Matting for Australian Workplaces
The Mat Group is an Australian-distributed brand of anti-fatigue mats, entrance matting, and industrial floor mats used widely across Australian workplaces for worker comfort, slip prevention, and contamination control. For Australian businesses managing the workplace ergonomics that long-standing work demands and the slip hazards that wet or oily floors create, the right matting reduces injury risk and improves worker productivity. AIMS Industrial supplies The Mat Group range to trade and industrial customers nationwide.
The matting categories we stock
- Anti-fatigue mats — cushioned matting that reduces leg, back, and joint fatigue from sustained standing work
- Industrial entrance mats — heavy-duty mats for capturing dirt, water, and contamination at workplace entrances
- Wet-area mats — drainage matting for kitchen, brewery, food processing, and wet workshop environments
- Anti-slip mats — high-traction matting for slip-hazard areas
- Static-dissipative mats — for electronics assembly and sensitive instrumentation work
- Welding and high-temperature mats — for welding bays and high-heat environments
Where anti-fatigue matting earns its place
- Production lines — workers standing in fixed positions for extended shifts
- Workshop benches — fitter, mechanic, and assembly work
- Reception and service counters — customer-facing standing work
- Kitchen and food preparation — chef stations and prep areas
- Retail checkout stations — cashier and service desk positions
Why workplace matting matters
Long-standing work without proper matting is a known contributor to workplace musculoskeletal injuries — leg fatigue, back pain, foot disorders, and reduced productivity. Anti-fatigue mats with appropriate compression and rebound characteristics reduce the static load on workers' joints, encouraging the small postural shifts that maintain circulation and reduce fatigue. For Australian workplaces under WHS obligations to minimise workplace injury risk, anti-fatigue matting is a recognised control measure for standing-work hazards.
Material and durability
Quality industrial mats use polyurethane, nitrile rubber, or PVC compounds engineered for the specific environment. Anti-fatigue mats need adequate compression-rebound for fatigue reduction without becoming spongy. Wet-area mats need slip-resistant surface texture and effective drainage geometry. Welding mats need fire-resistant material that doesn't generate fumes when sparks land. The Mat Group range is engineered for these specific applications rather than offering general-purpose mats stretched across uses they don't suit.
Sizing and configuration
Mats are stocked in standard sizes (typically 600mm × 900mm and 900mm × 1500mm for anti-fatigue) and continuous roll lengths for fitouts. Custom sizes and shapes are available on request for specific workplace requirements. Edge ramping (chamfered edges) prevents trip hazards at mat boundaries — important for entrance and high-traffic mat installations.
