Safety Walkways and Walkway Matting

Safety walkway matting gives people on foot a firm, clearly marked route across construction sites, yards and event ground, away from mud and plant. It suits site managers, facilities teams and event organisers. The main choice is between roll-out high visibility matting for marking a route on existing floors and interlocking mats or grids for building a path over grass, soft ground or slopes.

Buying guide

Safety Walkways: what to know before you buy

Matting Chosen for People on Foot

This range is selected for pedestrian routes: marking where people should walk, giving grip underfoot and keeping edges low to reduce trip potential. If the route also has to carry plant, delivery lorries or site vehicles, start with our ground matting range, which is focused on vehicle loads and protecting the ground beneath. Some mats, such as EnviroMat and MultiTrack, appear in both ranges because they are rated for walkways and roadways.

Marking and Branding the Route

Branded High Visibility Matting is the quickest way to show people where to walk. It is supplied in long rolls, the yellow colour keeps the walkway visible, and the flexible material can be laid onto uneven surfaces. Your own safety messages or logo can be printed onto the surface using a UV curing process. The matting is VOC compliant and complies with EW649.

To keep people and plant apart, run pedestrian barriers along the edge of the walkway and use walkthroughs at crossing points. Where a route has to pass over an open excavation, see our trench covers. For controlled crossings between people and plant, our catalogue also features the FHOSS Illuminated Safety Walkway system with traffic lights, an audible alarm and optional mag-locks: call us for details.

Laying and Joining Walkway Mats

  • FastCoverGB lies directly onto a flat surface. The lips overlap so joins sit flush without a trip hazard. It is suitable for pedestrians on grass, and for vehicles only on a firm paved or crushed stone surface.
  • EnviroMat and MultiTrack join with wire joiners and anchor pins, and can be hosed down to clean. MultiTrack has three tread options: roadway, walkway and smooth.
  • Heavy Duty Cellular Matting installs quickly and is easy to clean, with a cellular structure designed for grip on slopes.
  • X-Grid is a ground reinforcement grid whose cells can be filled with gravel or other materials for a semi-permanent path.
