What's Your No. 1 Anti-Fatigue Mat Challenge?

I lead marketing for a custom anti-fatigue mat manufacturer in Minneapolis. and we're putting together an anti-fatigue mat report about what works and what doesn't as it relates to anti-fatigue mats.

Over the past year, we've surveyed over 200 safety and production leaders/prospects. Roughly 40% say their anti-fatigue mats simply aren't working. We have a general understanding as to why, but I'm hoping to round that out with some deeper insight from the SK community. I learn daily on this forum, but have never tried to tap into your expertise!

Do you use anti-fatigue mats? Are they working? If not, what's your main challenge or your employees' main complaint? If you have any insight beyond the options below, I'd love to hear your experience in the comments.

We're rounding out the report now, and I will share it in the comments once it's ready (before the end of January)! Our New Year's resolution is for safety and production leaders to better understand why their mats curl or slide or flatten, give them some helpful tips as to what they can do to prevent these hazards from happening, and we feel like a report that allows users to learn directly from their peers in like industries will be a useful step in these directions.

I put a handful of the survey results in context just recently, here: https://acromat.com/blogs/acromat-blog/5-reasons-your-anti-fatigue-mats-arent-working

Thanks, everyone! I appreciate what you all bring to SK on a weekly basis.
