Everyone knows the saying ‘prevention is better than cure’ and this is most definitely true when it comes to avoiding ground damage. Bad weather plus traffic often equals a nightmare mess for grass; a mess which can be both costly and time consuming to put right.
Whether you’re a construction business wanting to avoid costly and unsightly ground damage and ensure work continues whatever the weather or are simply interested in making sure you meet your health and safety obligations, ground protection may be the right solution for you. There’s a whole host of ground protection methods available, with one of the most popular being ground mats. Put simply, ground mats add a layer of protection between vehicles or people and the ground. This extra layer prevents the ground below turning into a muddy mess in wet weather. Avoiding ground damage means work can continue even in the wettest of conditions. They allow vehicles, even heavy, construction lorries, to drive easily over the surface with no resulting mess and no concerns about becoming stuck.
Ground protection is also extremely useful in preventing customers and staff from tripping; a concern for any well meaning business. Helping your business to stay open and running in wet conditions while ensuring you still meet your health and safety obligations means ground mats are often seen as a god-send for many business owners. Business can continue as normal without the worry of potentially dangerous accidents occurring.
For events that need to take place no matter what weather Mother Nature throws at them, ground protection mats are often vital. Saving the day at many outdoor festivals and fairs, ground mats not only protect the ground underneath and keep everyone safe, but also help to stop the weather dampening people’s moods by keeping their feet, and their spirits, dry!
Although most commonly used on grass, ground mats also provide excellent protection for tarmac and paved areas; preventing cracking and breaking from heavy construction traffic. Saving you the cost and inconvenience of future repairs ground mats will keep your surfaces as good as new.
