The present invention is an ergonomic safety work mat which includes a modular ergonomic wooden platform with a synthetic tapered marginal border. The purpose of this invention is to provide occupational workers with a therapeutic, forgiving work surface to protect them from the health risks of working, walking and standing on a concrete floor or common anti-fatigue mat used in many factories today. The wooden platform is raised off the floor to offer suspension, thus promoting a spring effect for absorbing and returning compression force resulting in reduced stress loads and compression force for people who work, walk or stand fort extended periods of time. This product is modular in design so that the tapered borders of separate modular sections connect for a snug fit. The vertical edges of the wood sections also have connection points that provide a leveling effect and further enhance the fit of the module sections. 1. A modular mat platform comprising:at least one female work mat section comprising a first rectangular wooden platform having a top surface, a bottom surface, and at least one female inner edge;at least one male work mat section comprising a first rectangular wooden platform having a top surface, a bottom surface, and at least one male inner edge;said at least one female work mat including a first female side edge border parallel and spaced apart from a second female side edge border connected by a female end edge border, each one having a chamfered edge including at least one conduit extending along a longitudinal side edge comprising spaced apart web elements;said at least one male work mat including a first male side edge border parallel and spaced apart from a second male side edge border connected by a male end edge border, each one having a chamfered edge including at least one conduit extending along a longitudinal side edge comprising spaced apart web elements;said at least one female work mat aligning opposite said at least one male work ...

A flooring system as disclosed herein may include a subfloor, a top floor layer, and an underlayment material comprising a needlepunched fiber pad. The needlepunched fiber pad may include a plurality of layers that are needlepunched together to form the fiber pad. Each of the layers may have a respective initial thickness. The fiber pad may have a thickness that is less than the sum of the initial thicknesses. A moisture vapor barrier may be disposed between the needlepunched fiber pad and the sub floor. A portion of the moisture vapor barrier may extend beyond an edge of the fiber pad. The portion of the moisture vapor barrier that extends beyond the edge of the fiber pad may have an adhesive disposed thereon. 1. A flooring system , comprising:a subfloor;a top floor layer; andan underlayment material comprising a needlepunched fiber pad, wherein the needlepunched fiber pad comprises a plurality of layers that are needlepunched together to form the fiber pad.2. The flooring system of claim 1 , wherein each of the layers has a respective initial thickness claim 1 , and the needlepunched fiber pad has a thickness that is less than the sum of the initial thicknesses.3. The flooring system of claim 1 , further comprising a moisture vapor barrier disposed between the needlepunched fiber pad and the sub floor.4. The flooring system of claim 3 , wherein a portion of the moisture vapor barrier extends beyond an edge of the fiber pad.5. The flooring system of claim 4 , wherein the portion of the moisture vapor barrier that extends beyond the edge of the fiber pad has an adhesive disposed thereon.6. A flooring system claim 4 , comprising:a subfloor;a top floor layer;an underlayment material comprising a needlepunched fiber pad, anda moisture vapor barrier disposed between the needlepunched fiber pad and the sub floor.7.

Described herein are methods and systems for installing flooring systems that provide waterproofing or water-control capabilities. The flooring systems can utilize a gypsum material or any other self-leveling or concrete material along with a structural board or any other type of cement, wood, gypsum board, compressed board, cellulose fiberboard, sheathing board, or sheet metal material. The flooring systems include a waterproof coating applied to the structural boards to provide the water-control features. The waterproof coating covers seams between structural boards and between structural boards and the subfloor. 1. A method for installing a flooring system , the method comprising:securing a wall isolation board to a wall frame so that a bottom edge of the wall isolation board is adjacent to a subfloor;installing a waterproof layer that extends from the subfloor and up the wall isolation board to cover a seam between the subfloor and the wall isolation board; andpouring cementitious product over the subfloor so that the poured cementitious product reaches a targeted height that does not exceed a top edge of the waterproof layer.2. The method of wherein securing the wall isolation board to the wall frame includes using at least two dry wall screws for each wall isolation board.3. The method of further comprising applying a tape material at a transition between a sound control membrane installed on the subfloor and the wall isolation board.4. The method of wherein the wall isolation board comprises fire-rated cellulose fiberboard.5. The method of wherein a thickness of the wall isolation board is greater than or equal to about 0.5 inches and less than or equal to about 1 inch.6. The method of wherein the cementitious product comprises gypsum concrete.7. The method of wherein the targeted height is less than or equal to about 1.5 inches.8. The method of wherein the waterproof layer includes a waterproof resin.9. The method of wherein the waterproof layer includes a ...
