Best Mat is a switchboard matting (floor matting) product which insulates workders from electrocution by interrupting the path to ground. Best Mat is used around electrified equipment where maintenance and operational workers stand.
Best Mat switchboard matting is manufactured from dielectric materials, which are electrically non conductive. Dielectric switchboard matting, ASTM D 178 protects workers in way of low, medium and high voltage electrical potentials, as outlined in the specification.
OSHA has defined switchboard Matting as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in the Code of Federal Regulations, 29 CFR 1910.137 Electrical Protective Devices, and recommends the use of ASTM D 178 matting.
