Rubber is known for its exceptional electrical insulating properties. With the ability to reduce or stop electric currents, electrical rubber matting or switchboard matting is a common surface for high voltage environments. Used to protect workers from electrical shocks it is ideal for plant rooms, control rooms, switchboards and places where individuals handle live equipment. Our Electrical Safety Rubber Matting is designed for protection in any environment using equipment with high voltage. Our matting provides a safer working environment, complying with today's rigorous health & safety standards. 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.

The main benefit is that it reduces the risks caused by current leakage. Should this occur, the electrical matting will safely dissipate the current, reducing the shock effect of anyone standing on the mat. Electrical Matting also provides a softer surface for employees, reducing stress on their joints.

We stock a number of grades of electrical safety matting, including:

• IEC61111-2009 Class 0, Class 1, Class 2, Class 3 and Class 4

• Rubber matting to 50,000v previously VDE0303 Grade

• PVC anti-static foam matting fully tested to EOS/ESD association.

electrical safety mats ensure your business gives top priority to the relevant health and safety requirements of the working environment.
