The work environment plays a major role in choosing the right ergonomic mat. This can be divided into three main categories:

1 | Dry Environment
For this type of environment, PVC foam mats are recommended, which provide excellent support against muscular fatigue while providing better adherence and insulation than that of cement and ceramic floors.

2 | Wet Environment
This area requires the use of matting with a drainage system to allow the fluid to evacuate and prevent the risk of falls. These are generally rubber compound mats that provide less support against fatigue yet have the advantage of adherence and durability.

3 | Oily Environment
These types of areas require very durable mats with an efficient drainage system. These mats should be made of quality materials such as nitrile, which is resistant to many greasy products. The mat must also have an aggressive pattern that will ensure good adherence on an oily surface.
