When you\u2019re given the task to buy lockers for your\nconstruction site or facilities how do you know you\u2019re buying the best lockers\nfor the job. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contractors are required to provide welfare facilities and\nmaintain these for the duration of the project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The type of facilities required and the scale of facilities\nwill naturally depend on the size of the project. Here are some key facilities\nthat might be required: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toilets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Washing facilities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drinking water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facilities for rest<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing rooms and lockers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog we\u2019re going to concentrate on lockers for\nconstruction sites, finding out which ones are best to use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Construction Site\nLockers for Changing Rooms <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing rooms are needed wherever workers have to wear\nspecialist clothing for work and cannot be expected to change elsewhere. They\nare also essential for employees who are required to keep their work clothes in\nsafe place, at work and not allowed to take them home\/ off site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing rooms must provide seating, a means of drying and\nstoring clothing and a place to secure personal effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many construction sites, ventilation is key. If clothes\nare likely to become damp, smelly or dusty it is a good idea to keep them in\nsecure, but also ventilated lockers to allow them to be fresh and ready for the\nnext working day. For this we\u2019d recommend Wire Mesh Lockers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wire mesh allows warm air to circulate through\nthe lockers drying and damp or wet items and keeping them fresh<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are also popular for storing work tool as\nthe wire mesh allows people to quickly identify the contents of each locker\nwithout having to open each one<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If\nit\u2019s not necessarily clothing storage you need on your construction site we\nhave plenty of other options. On many sites workers are not allowed to keep\ntheir phones and personal belongings on them for various reasons including\nhealth and safety. Some people may choose to bring bags to work to store their\nstuff in \u2013 for which a standard steel locker would be ideal. Depending on the\nsize of storage required and the amount of space vs. staff there are, this\ncould be anything from a one door locker to a 6 door locker. Such lockers are\noften kept in construction site cabins where they are secure from outside\nelements and hidden from people passing by. For this we\u2019d recommend several of\nour steel lockers\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
