Ensuring your workplace has implemented the highest standard of building essentials is vital. Providing a safe working environment boosts employee productivity and worker morale. Therefore, more efficient work can be completed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have complied a list of essential building products, which will ensure worker morale and safety standards remain at an all time high!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Store hazardous content in CoSHH Cabinets \ud83e\uddea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

To abide by UK laws, Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (CoSHH) Cabinets need to be installed into workplaces. This creates a safe environment for dangerous products such as chemicals to live. In turn, this protects employee health and safety standards!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We offer a wide collection of Hazardous and CoSHH Cabinets<\/a> to keep your workplace both legal and safe. Our own Hazardous Storage Cabinets<\/a> are available in four unique widths to suit your available space. Manufactured in the UK, they conform to high standards of safety. Additionally, they have been Fire Guarded to EN 13501-1, with secure locks and keys to protect contents from unauthorised access.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Hazardous<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For further CoSHH advice, including regulations, read our Guide to CoSHH<\/a> and why it is so important!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Corner off un-safe zones with Safety Barriers \u26d4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Our vibrant collection of Safety Barriers<\/a> are perfect for sectioning off unsafe areas, whether in the workplace or public spaces. We offer barriers in a variety of colours to meet multiple safety standards. This includes a yellow for improved visibility, and red and white stripes to indicate dangerous or restricted areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Black Bull Safety Barrier System<\/a> is the perfect barrier for marking out safe zones within a warehouse environment. The vibrant colour allows for easy recognition, and its modular build makes it easy to install.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Protect your building essentials in Wire Mesh Lockers \ud83d\udd10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

In areas where visibility and ventilation is critical, installing Wire Mesh Lockers<\/a> can be an amazing alternative solution to traditional lockers. Each locker has a nesting option available, ideal for installing multiple lockers together for a compact storage solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our TUFF Wire Mesh Lockers (Six door, Nest of 2)<\/a> are powder coated in light grey, making them a durable and a long lasting solution for any working environment. Plus, the edition of 160mm legs makes cleaning underneath these lockers easier than ever, ensuring hygiene standards remain at a high level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fancy a pop of colour? Our Mesh Personal Lockers<\/a> are available in five vibrant colour swatches to match your work environment!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. The importance of ESD Workbenches \ud83d\udd28<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Vital for individuals who work with electricity and technical items, our range of ESD Workbenches<\/a> are a critical feature in your workshop. They remove the impact of Electro-Static Discharge (ESD), which are unlikely to harm us, but can damage any sensitive objects being worked on, such as chip boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Importantly, ESD Workbenches improve workplace productivity. By providing an environment where employees feel safe, this boosts motivation and in turn, productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pictured is our best-selling ESD Workbench Kit 2<\/a>, the ideal workbench, with square-legged design for improved stability even when used extensively during the working day!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Recycle any unwanted building essentials \u267b\ufe0f<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

With consumption increasing massively over the last decade, it is more important than ever that businesses protect not just their employees, but the planet too. It is recognised that 65% of individuals would leave their job if their place of employment contributed towards the effects of climate change. Therefore, installing recycling bins<\/a> around the workplace can be essential for improving employee morale and productivity, whilst having a positive impact on the planet! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Open Top Recycling Bin Kits<\/a> can hold up to 50 Litres of rubbish, and available in nine different colours to represent alternative recycling methods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Open<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. Anti-Fatigue Matting prevents workplace accidents \u26a0\ufe0f<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Take a sneak peak at our new range of Anti-Fatigue<\/a> Coba Matting available at Direct2U! Designed with patterns to encourage micro-movement of the feet, this results in improved blood circulation, thus preventing the effects of fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These mats are an essential addition to industrial workplaces where standing for long hours is required to complete a job. This includes in warehouses and printing rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Deckplate Diamond Safety Matting<\/a> is designed with a diamond pattern to encourage those micro-movements in a subtle manner. Plus, a vibrant yellow border improves visibility wherever the mat is laid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
