Smart selection key for bog mats

摘要

Bog mats might seem a construction staple on a site with soft ground. However, Birketts Fencing director Juanita Watts says that getting the right mat for the right job is crucial, as ultimately it could pose a health and safety risk and have a severe impact on your bottom line.rnOne of the challenges when buying or hiring bog mats, however, is that there is no certification scheme that determines which thicknesses are appropriate for which areas.rnSo if a contractor selects the wrong size of mat because of a desire for value engineering, they could find themselves having to buy new mats more frequently -or face the cost of rescuing, repairing and replacing equipment damaged as a result of insufficient protection.
