Collection: Electrical safety matting

What is electrical safety matting

Electrical safety matting is a type of rubber matting designed to provide insulation and protection in areas where electrical equipment is present. It is manufactured from insulating rubber compounds intended to reduce the risk of electric shock.

The matting is typically installed in front of electrical panels, switchgear or control equipment to create a safer working surface in technical and industrial environments.

What is electrical safety matting used for

Electrical safety matting is used in applications where personnel may be exposed to live electrical installations. Typical uses include electrical rooms, substations, control cabinets and maintenance areas.

Its primary function is to provide an insulating barrier between the user and the ground, supporting safe working conditions during operation or maintenance activities.

Is electrical safety matting suitable for electrical protection

Yes, electrical safety matting is specifically designed for electrical protection purposes. The insulating properties of the rubber help reduce the risk associated with accidental contact with electrical systems.

The matting is used as part of broader electrical safety measures in environments where controlled access and protection are required.

What affects the performance of electrical safety matting

The performance of electrical safety matting depends on factors such as the rubber compound, thickness and installation conditions. These factors influence the insulating behaviour and durability of the matting.

Material selection should therefore be based on the electrical environment and the safety requirements of the application.
