SERVICE INFORMATION
Mats should have a minimum width of 900mm to accord with the regulations concerning
the minimum width of a working platform or passageway associated with a switchboard
on which there may be exposed live conductors (for voltages up to 650v). Where
the regulations do not apply the minimum width is recommended.
If joins are unavoidable when laying switchboard matting then the pieces should
butt together with no gaps between them. In temporary applications portable
mats should be used. It is stressed that rubber mats should not provide the
sole means of protection for those working on electrical circuits and wherever
possible further adequate precautions should be taken against the risk of
shock and short circuit. Attention is drawn to the Electricity (Factories
Act) Special Regulations 1908 and 1944. March 1999
