Electrical Safety Matting

Electrical Rubber Matting provide electrical protection for individual and collective protection for workers involved on electrical installations for voltages of 3.3kV, 6.6kV, 11kV, 15kV, 20kV and 33kV – generally used in conjunction with additional PPE such as insulating gloves for worker safety. High quality insulating mats with excellent electrical insulation and mechanical properties to resist impact, tears or punctures when protecting workers on LV MV HV switchgear and power systems. Used when operating switchboards, live LV-HV switchgear, substations, transformers and electrical workstations, insulating rubber matting protects workers against electrical shock by absorbing the power that can result from a short circuit or other electrical leak.

The full range of electrical rubber matting from CATU is thoroughly tested to guarantee compliance with all relevant standards. The mats are manufactured using the finest rubber compounds. The quality of these mats is absolutely integral in complying with and maintaining electrical protection standards. In the UK, DNOs are increasingly stipulating the use of insulating rubber matting on cable jointing applications. Using insulating matting on cable jointing applications provides a secondary level of protection should the insulating gloves being used become damaged or not provide the level of protection required.

We supply electrical safety matting from 450 volts to 30,000 volt protection, whilst our buy online range includes IEC61111 Class 0 to 1000 volts, 650 volt and 450 volt shock protection. We have recently added to our range of electrical insulation mats with Class 2 to 17000 volts and Class 3 to 26500 volt working protection.

Shock Prevention Rubber Matting

When working in front of electrical switchboards and high voltage equipment our specifically designed non slip switchboard mat will offer shock prevention to your chosen voltage. It will provide safety for staff against electric shock. This material should be used in any area where a health and safety inspection identifies a risk of electric shock.

Electrical safety matting sizes

Our Electrical Safety Matting can be supplied in 3 widths, 914mm (3ft), 1000mm and 1220mm (4ft). We will supply any length from a meter to a full roll from stock, and our prices are the most competitive in the UK with delivery within 24 hours available. Please contact us for any protection level not listed on this website. We are able to help with large and small volume orders, and unusual specifications. We can assist with specialist electrical safety matting requests including unusual sizes or voltage resistance, and will cut, check and prepare your order at our Dorset manufacturing facility.

IEC 61111 Has Replaced BS921 Electrical Rubber Matting Standard Insulating Matting Mats BS921 | bBS EN 61111

Originally published in March 1976 BS921:1976 was the British Standard covering Rubber Mats for Electrical Purposes with a maximum working voltage of 650 volts for LV low voltage electrical protection – the insulating matting standard was withdrawn in January 2013 in a UK and EU initiative to provide harmonization and improved Health & Safety and replaced by BS EN 61111. The exact replacement to BS921 mats is the Class 0 matting with a maximum working voltage of 1000 volts according to BS EN 61111 – the higher voltage rating provides enhanced insulating protection including performance improvements such as slip, puncture, acid and oil resistance. The 3mm thickness of BS EN 61111 matting is significantly less than BS921 (8.5mm) reducing environmental impact through cost reductions in storage and transportation.

The Importance of Matting for Wet Areas

Image
Being present in an area exposed to water, chemicals or any sorts of liquids can pose a threat to your health and safety. This can become a major slip and trip hazard, which also creates and unsafe environment for workers and members of the public. That is why we provide Wet Area Matting to prevent slip, trip and fall accidents in environments prone to moisture. If you have a business that is exposed to moisture or water such as a swimming pool, gym, spa or therapy center, we have a range of wet area matting (also known as wet room mats) that will help to prevent slips, trips and falls. The Importance of Matting for Wet Areas Wet room mats or anti slip mats for wet areas should be an essential part of any business’s health and safety precautions, especially if they include areas that are often wet or damp, as these areas can be prone to accidents. When offering services to the general public such as a swimming pool, gym or spa, it is important to ensure that all areas of the business ...

Rubber Cow Mats

Image
Rubber Cow Mats (also known as Bull Mat) are specially crafted in order to aid the Cattle’s hygiene, ensure less fatigue and  help against excessive rheumatism.  These mats provide a comfortable base for the livestock to rest/stand upon while also preventing joint-deterioration in many animals. Further, they even act as a cushion for calves trying to find their footing into adulthood, ensuring their health remains intact. The Cow Mats are made up of multiple designs. However, the interlocking Cow mats are the most convenient and easy to spread mats, for a wide area. They can be easily cleaned and treated periodically for a longer utility. we supplying various designs of Cow Mats to different Livestock Boards and Frozen Semen Stations in the past, few of which are situated in Uttar Pradesh (UP), Madhya Pradesh (MP), Punjab and Haryana. Technical Specifications: While there exist various types of Cow Mats and in different dimensions, it is important for the farmers, dairy farm ...

What is Rubber?

Image
Rubber is one of the worlds most used materials and it has presence in virtually every market segment across the globe. Rubber Mats are one type of product that makes liberal use of rubber. After all, rubber is cheap, durable and can be molded and colored to customers specifications. Rubber matting can be broken up into a few categories depending on its use. As such, we have everything from gym mats, bathroom mats to those used in the kitchen. The basic role of rubber matting is to ensure that your feet are dry and free from dirt. As such, it is more of a home safety item rather than an aesthetic one. They are especially useful should you have children or the elderly living at home as any fall could potentially be disastrous. Children on the other hand have a knack of bruising themselves from falls regardless of the environment. The most basic type of rubber matting being sold around the world is the humble entrance mat. All forms of rubber matting are usually made from durable rubber ...
