What should be considered first when a person stands all day at work?

When contemplating the use of anti-fatigue mats, other aspects such as allowing for changes in working/standing posture, footwear, and flooring should all be taken into account.

Positional changes when working or standing: Work should be organised such that employees have a say in their working environment and the ability to change jobs often. A workstation with an optional seat (chair, sit/stand stool) and some form of footrest allows for a greater diversity of body positions and encourages frequent changes.

Footwear is a factor that, if chosen correctly, can help to lessen the negative consequences of prolonged standing. There's no denying that choosing the right footwear is crucial for people who work on their feet. While giving comfort to the wearer, shoes should provide enough arch and heel support and cushioning.

Flooring: The type of flooring used in the workplace has a significant impact on comfort, particularly for sensitive feet. Concrete and other hard, unyielding flooring are the least comfortable surfaces to work on. Walking on a hard floor feels like a hammer is crushing your heel with each step. Anything with some elasticity, such as wood, cork, carpeting, or rubber, is often softer on workers' feet. More than that, softer floor coverings reduce fatigue and improve safety by reducing slips and falls on slippery floors.

When should anti-fatigue mats be used?

When resilient floors are not an option, there are two solutions for relieving foot discomfort. Shoes with thick insulating soles and shock-absorbing insoles are one option.

The alternative option is anti-fatigue matting. Anti-fatigue mats cushion the impact of walking by absorbing stress. This lowers foot fatigue. Mats, on the other hand, must be used with caution since if fitted incorrectly, they might cause tripping and falling incidents.

In summary, the use of anti-fatigue mats or placing carpeting on the floor does not eliminate sore feet by itself, but, when combined with proper work design and quality footwear, it should improve working conditions.
