How Hireforce's 4 Features & Services Add Value to Your Welfare Cabin Hire
Welfare units, or construction welfare cabins, are an important addition to any building and construction site. They are essential to most projects, especially those that operate in remote areas. Thanks to their versatility, they’re used in a range of different industries to provide necessary facilities for workers.
When it comes to the construction industry, welfare units can be designed to incorporate amenities beyond the basic ones specified by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) regulations. Welfare unit providers like Hireforce Welfare go the extra mile to offer features, and services that not only benefit on-site workers but the construction business as a whole.
What are these 4 valuable features and services that make us a top choice for meeting construction site facilities and requirements? Keep reading to find out.
1. SafeHire Certification
Hireforce Welfare is SafeHire certified and a part of the SafeHire association. It’s a private standard for the UK’s hire industry created with the support of the British Standards Institute (BSi) and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). This certification displays our commitment to follow the best practices in the building and construction industry.
In line with the SafeHire guidelines, we provide a trained team for all support or assistance, comply with safety, health and environment regulations, and always strive to maintain high standards in service.
Whichever welfare unit you choose, from our 6 or 16-person Ecosmart units, you’re assured of quality and safety. Our units are specifically designed and tested to be HSE compliant, which means you’re less likely to face legal issues and regulatory complexities.
Our SafeHire-approved units are equipped with emergency supplies, so you can respond quickly and take fast action during emergencies. Hire our accredited welfare facilities to set an example of your commitment to worker safety and well-being while positively impacting your project’s outcomes.
2. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly
Amidst the growing climate change crisis and the UK’s push to cut carbon emissions, meeting ESG goals has become a priority for all businesses, including construction firms. Before any building or construction project takes off, firms and contractors need to make sure they’re ticking all the necessary environmental, social, and governance boxes.
One consideration is hiring construction site facilities for on-site workers during the project planning stage. Take one step closer towards meeting your organisation’s ESG goal by opting for our eco-friendly welfare units. Our 6 to 16-person welfare units run on innovative hybrid technology that results in lower noise pollution, fuel consumption, and carbon dioxide emissions. This technology is a multi-award winning eco-welfare cabin hybrid system and is proudly built in the UK by AJC Easy Cabin.
This makes Hireforce’s welfare facilities for workers a valuable addition, along with all the other elements and initiatives supporting your ESG goals.
3. Worker-Focused Features
Common on-site welfare facilities examples include portaloos, mobile welfare units, welfare vans, and static container cabins. While these facilities offer basic, self-contained amenities for workers on site, portaloos and welfare vans don’t cover all the necessary facilities in line with the mandatory regulations.
For example, portaloos (or portable toilets) may provide clean toilets and forearm wash basins but don’t usually offer a drinking water supply, changing areas, storage, areas for rest, and an eating area with tables and chairs with backs. Hireforce Welfare’s range of welfare units not only meets this list of regulatory requirements but also offer additional features and services that add to worker comfort and well-being.
Each unit has easy-to-use canteen facilities, including a kettle and a microwave to reheat food and liquids. We’re also on hand to keep your project site clean and hygienic, including emptying your toilets regularly.
We’re equipped to meet your bigger workforce welfare needs with our 16-person unit, featuring a heated 3-person office with a separate entry point. Plus, our units are fitted with USB plug-and-play sockets for charging phones and laptops.
All these services and features make Hireforce Welfare’s welfare facilities for workers a top choice.
4. Power Saving Support
Construction projects often face unpredictable situations, such as power outages. We understand the limitations of a project site and have designed our site welfare units to deliver welfare support even in the face of limited resources, like limited power.
It only takes 1 to 2 hours for the battery of our welfare unit to charge completely. Our power-saving hybrid system allows access to hot water without the need for a generator.
Our units also use PIR-activated LED lighting and low-energy LED lights, helping you reduce fuel usage and maintain battery power for longer. Plus, you can avoid fuel wastage and further preserve energy usage with our automatic generator timed shut-off feature.
This allows significant energy and power savings as compared to a conventional 6KVA system.
