Mobile Welfare Unit Hire

A mobile welfare unit is a standalone, self-contained, compact and capable way of providing adequate welfare facilities to staff when there is a need for portability, as a mobile welfare unit hire is typically made when there is a need for welfare facilities to be towed from site to site. 

These towable welfare units are easy to position where needed as it is a one man operation to manoeuvre, relocate and secure the unit swiftly. They can be deployed in 3 minutes and are purpose-built for sites that do not have water or electricity connections. 

Flexibility is the key advantage of a mobile welfare vehicle, being able to move the unit at a moment’s notice, which is why they are often used at roadworks, railway maintenance works, telecom projects and short-term building projects across the UK.

A mobile mini welfare unit accommodates 6 people, while the larger and more versatile units (such as the GPO500 Fusion Mobile Welfare Unit) have seating for up to 10 people. 

‘Self-contained’ means it is offered as a complete welfare facility having all that is needed, within. This includes:

• Washing facilities
• Toilet
• Access to drinking water
• Accommodation for drying and changing clothes
• Area for resting and eating (canteen)

In addition, mobile welfare units often come equipped with the following features, which are good to have:

• Ground lowering for security
• Anti-vandalism system
• Eco-friendly features to reduce running costs & carbon footprint
• Supplied with a current electrical installation test certificate
• Power generator
• Recirculating plumbing

When hiring mobile welfare units it is important to ensure they are fully HSE compliant, approved for use on the UK rail network and meet CDM 2015 requirements. 

This means their configuration complies with the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) that make it mandatory for employers to provide ‘adequate’ and appropriate welfare facilities to their employees while they are at work as per the requirements of the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.

The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) outline duties that apply to any individual or organisation that carries out a construction project as part of a business, and is supported by the HSE.
