In a Dalton Daily Citizen article that extolls the ergonomic benefits of carpet, numerous reasons in favor of softer floor coverings included:
• Employees may experience less pain in their feet, knees, hips, and spine since carpet “cushion the blows and jolts that can occur from even just walking around.” You may not realize it but carpets can contribute to less fatigue and fewer sore joints.
• Using carpet in schools and officers creates better acoustics because sound waves are not bouncing off of floors.
• After spending time chasing little ones around the house, parents benefit from softer floor coverings. And children who like to run around and play will suffer fewer injuries.
The article, which was aimed at people who are in the business of selling carpet, set out to remind those in the industry that the product they sell has many benefits.
We would like to add that for all the ergonomic benefits carpet can produce for homes, schools, and offices, those who deliver carpet should also consider finding ergonomic ways to deliver these benefits.
