Switchboard Floor Matting

Why is knowing the difference between switchboard and ESD matting so important?

There’s an all-too-common misconception that all mats designed to reduce some kind of shock are the same. Both ESD (conductive matting) and switchboard matting (non-conductive matting) reduce shock, but they’re on completely opposite sides of the spectrum. It’s critical that purchasers and users know the difference. This is one matting decision that can literally be the difference between life and death.
