How to ensure 360° protection in the EV sector using rubber products and compone

As people become more environmentally conscious and aware of the long-term effects of combustion engines, Electric Vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular. With over 1 million fully electric & plug-in hybrid cars on UK roads (SMMT, 2023), the need for rubber products, such as Electrical Safety Matting(ESM) and Cable Protectors, is higher than ever. These products offer 360° protection, ensuring the safety of workers and individuals around EV charging infrastructure, and their importance cannot be overstated.

Why use Electrical Safety Matting?

Electrical Safety Matting is a specialist rubber designed to prevent the risk of electric shock, commonly used in EV manufacturing plants and service centres where high voltage equipment is used to build and maintain Electronic Vehicles. The matting provides a barrier between the worker and the ground, preventing electric current from flowing through the workers body if they come into contact with live electrical components.

In addition to protecting employees in the workplace, Electrical Safety Matting can be used to ensure the optimum safety of individuals charging their EV Cars at home. The charging process involves a strong electrical current being transmitted from the charging station to the vehicle, and without the use of electrical insulation equipment, electric shocks can often occur, potentially causing serious injury to users.

Why use Cable Protectors?

To complement our range of Electrical Safety Matting, we offer high-quality rubber cable protectors which can be used to keep free-flowing charging cables in place. The components eliminate the risk of tripping for both drivers and pedestrians and can be installed quickly and efficiently, at roadside charging stations, EV service centres or at home. Additionally, cable protectors allow charging areas to be kept neat and tidy, whilst ensuring safety for those around.
