Changing rooms must provide seating, these benches are essential
for employees who have to change into their uniform at work; an example
of this it kitchen work.
Wire Mesh lockers provide excellent security whilst keep visibility
into each locker compartment, this allows sufficient air flow.
This traditional locker design ensures a safe location for staff
or visitors to store their personal items as well as being customisable
to the organisation or are they are going to be located.
These small compartments are ideal for workers to store phones,
wallets and keys without the thought of theft looming over them.

When you’re given the task to buy lockers for your
construction site or facilities how do you know you’re buying the best lockers
for the job.
Contractors are required to provide welfare facilities and
maintain these for the duration of the project.
The type of facilities required and the scale of facilities
will naturally depend on the size of the project. Here are some key facilities
that might be required:
Toilets
Washing facilities
Drinking water
Facilities for rest
Changing rooms and lockers
In this blog we’re going to concentrate on lockers for
construction sites, finding out which ones are best to use.
Construction Site
Lockers for Changing Rooms
Changing rooms are needed wherever workers have to wear
specialist clothing for work and cannot be expected to change elsewhere. They
are also essential for employees who are required to keep their work clothes in
safe place, at work and not allowed to take them home/ off site.
Changing rooms must provide seating, a means of drying and
storing clothing and a place to secure personal effects.
For many construction sites, ventilation is key. If clothes
are likely to become damp, smelly or dusty it is a good idea to keep them in
secure, but also ventilated lockers to allow them to be fresh and ready for the
next working day. For this we’d recommend Wire Mesh Lockers:
Wire mesh lockers provide good visibility whilst
ensuring the security of personal items
Wire mesh allows warm air to circulate through
the lockers drying and damp or wet items and keeping them fresh
They are also popular for storing work tool as
the wire mesh allows people to quickly identify the contents of each locker
without having to open each one
Need these lockers quickly? We have a range of
wire mesh lockers which are available on 5 day delivery
If
it’s not necessarily clothing storage you need on your construction site we
have plenty of other options. On many sites workers are not allowed to keep
their phones and personal belongings on them for various reasons including
health and safety. Some people may choose to bring bags to work to store their
stuff in – for which a standard steel locker would be ideal. Depending on the
size of storage required and the amount of space vs. staff there are, this
could be anything from a one door locker to a 6 door locker. Such lockers are
often kept in construction site cabins where they are secure from outside
elements and hidden from people passing by. For this we’d recommend several of
our steel lockers…
Construction Site
Lockers for Site Cabins
1.Standard Steel Lockers – Traditional
locker design provides a safe place for members of staff to store a range of
items including bags, shoes, hats etc. Express delivery lockers are available
if ordered before 12pm – can be delivered to site the next working day. These
high quality lockers are low cost but don’t compromise on security.
2.Personal Effect Lockers – Ideal for
workers to store their phones, wallets and keys in a secure location. Cost and
space saving locker can store up to 40 different personnel items at any one
time. If storage is only required for small items then the H165 x W225 x D360mm
compartment size is perfect.
3.In Charge Tool Lockers – Ideal for any
construction site or building site that regularly use cordless tools. The
charging lockers are designed to keep expensive tools safe and charging at the
same time so they are ready for use – no need to start a job to then realise
your tools are not ready for use. Each compartment comes with one 3 pin UK
socket (two sockets are available P.O.A).
All the doors are independently earthed to the
locker carcass
One side of the locker and the door fronts are
perforated – this will help prevent heat building up during charging
Each shelf has an additional front to rear
reinforcing box section for added strength – can store heavy tools
Power lead is supplied with fitted RCD plug –
lead plugs into the locker enabling easy replacement of the lead if every
damaged
Supply voltage 230Volts
Maximum current consumption in normal use is
13amp
Another
common place to store lockers on construction sites is of course, out doors.
When exposing them to the elements, you’ll need a strong and enduring plastic
locker. Plastic is ideal for outdoor storage as it wont rust and can take a bit
of a beating.
