Welfare Equipment & Facility Hire

Everything You Need for Good Welfare on Site

Everyone who works on a construction site must have access to toilets and facilities for washing, changing, eating, and rest. Contractors are required to provide welfare facilities and clients must ensure this happens. Clients should co-operate with contractors and help them in situations where providing welfare facilities are difficult.

The type and number of facilities you need depends on the size and type of work. You may need additional facilities, like showers, to control the risks from hazardous substances like cement, lead, or micro-organisms. workers might need a space to wash workwear to prevent the spread of dirt and grime. If you do need sanitation units, or are working in an area where there is a particular need for dry clothing, you might also need drying rooms.

You also need to consider the positioning of facilities and whether they will have to be moved during the project, if they offer access for cleaning and maintenance, and to ensure the shortest time possible to reach the facilities from the furthest part of the site. You might need generators if you are booking welfare units for remote sites.
