Levels 4 & 3 Lockdown are seeing South African businesses adapt to social distancing requirements and stringent hygiene measures in record time. At COBA Africa we are all about workplace safety and we are here to support you, as you prepare for increased activity, look for effective ways to keep employees safe and encourage social distancing with your customers.
Social Distancing Floor Mats
This new range of mats create an unmissable visual reminder for people to social distance. The mats can quickly be deployed in public spaces, visually communicating social distancing rules for increased safety. The mats can be made in bespoke colours and sizes or to one of our predesigned templates, with delivery in 14-21 working days.
Social Distancing Floor Mats are a highly effective way to remind visitors to maintain the government recommended 1.5m distance between themselves and others. A key benefit of the mats is that they can be relocated, stored away and can even be washed. At just 6mm high they don’t present a trip hazard and are flexible and light enough to transport and install with ease.

Contamination Control Mats
Stop the spread with anti-microbial and disinfectant entrance mats designed to improve hygiene and reduce walked in bacteria.
Contamination control is now more important than ever before. Between buildings and rooms, contamination occurs at the threshold, as bacteria gets walked or wheeled in. An effective way to reduce this spread right from the start, is to make use of contamination control mats at both internal and external entrances.
Microbiology based research confirms that microbes such as bacteria and viruses collect on the soles of shoes and over 90% can rub off on smooth tiled floors. Particles found during testing included E. coli, as well as other bacteria causing pneumonia (Klebsiella pneumonia) and respiratory tract infections (Serratia ficaria)*.
We stock a range of solutions, including tacky mats, anti-microbial mats and entrance mats designed to reduce foot and wheel-borne contamination.

COBA Disinfectant mat
The COBA Disinfectant Mat scrapes and sanitises footwear in one go – as the resilient vinyl loops scrape dirt off shoes, the disinfectant solution cleans and sanitises. The mat features a non-slip vinyl backing and durable, ramped edging.
Ideal for any workplace where hygiene is important e.g. healthcare, food manufacturing, catering, hospitality, clean rooms or food retail. It is easy to install, simply place on a level surface and fill the base with liquid disinfectant. We recommend combining the sanitising mat with an absorbent mat to dry footwear when stepping out.

First-Step Hygienic Pad
The first step to contamination control – this hygienic pad of peel-off, disposable adhesive sheets protects against bacteria, mould and mildew. The ‘tacky’ sheets capture dirt and dust from footwear and wheeled equipment for contamination control.
When the top sheet becomes soiled, simply peel off to reveal a clean layer. The pad comes with self-adhesive backing to keep the mat in place. It is ideal for hospitals, clean rooms, general industrial environments, and any other area where hygiene is an important factor.
According to research published by the CDC, carried out in Wuhan, China, viruses in healthcare settings (including Covid-19) float to the floor and are carried on the shoes of healthcare workers, posing a high contamination risk. Disinfectant mats between areas greatly reduce the risk of contaminants spreading.

Hygimat Anti-Fatigue Mat
The Hygimat is made from a revolutionary ‘gel foam’ material that combines the best in durability and comfort. The material also has anti-microbial properties and the closed-cell construction means that no liquids can penetrate the mat and reduce performance.
As a hygienic anti-fatigue mat it helps to improve the feeling of comfort and energy whilst standing at work.
Ideal for any workplace where hygiene is important e.g. healthcare, food manufacturing, catering, hospitality, clean rooms or food retail.
Hygimat is easily cleaned with detergent or steam steriliser. The mat comes as open or closed – the version with holes is ideal for wet workplaces in need of drainage.
