The construction industry must take into account the health and well-being of on-site workers, from site administration to the successful conclusion of a project, including amenities on site. Construction companies might want to consider using shipping containers to house the facilities required on a construction site. Shipping containers are durable, versatile and transportable.

They are practically indestructible and are perfect for construction sites. You can design and customise the room to your company’s particular needs.
Mobile Offices
There
is a broad
range of duties and skills required for a construction project irrespective of
the size. Everyone involved in a project has to work together to evaluate, plan
and submit tenders timeously. It is, therefore, essential that every
construction site has offices. A site
office has to be robust and secure enough to withstand the hazards of a
construction site. It needs to be portable
and be able to be erected and moved then and there.
Shipping containers constructed of sturdy
steel can withstand severe weather
conditions. They can be modified and include,
air-conditioning, power, lighting, ventilation, to name but a few.
Lunch Rooms
An
on-site lunch room should be a clean and inviting space, where workers can
unwind and refresh during their breaks. It is essential that the chamber has appliances, such as a microwave and
refrigerator. A sink for cleaning utensils as well as other extra features
including adequate lighting, electricity, a hot water urn, table and chairs.
Change Rooms
On-site
workers need a place where they can
change into work clothing and space to
store their personal items. A change room should be private and secure. Provision
made for seating, lockers and coat holders are
essential. They can also come with
air-conditioning, lighting or any other requirements needed.
Toilets
It is imperative that construction sites provide ablution
facilities for their workers. The perfect solution is a portable chemical
toilet. However, it can be compact and
uncomfortable to use. Portable toilets made from repurposed shipping containers
come in varying sizes.
Electricity, lighting, hand basins, urinals. Partitions, hot
water, soap dispensers, etc., should be included.
Storage
Shipping containers are perfect for storage. On the
construction site, building materials and costly equipment need to be stored. Shipping containers are super as they are
durable, secure and can come with locks
for additional security. Customise it to suit your requirements. There are
various container sizes from which to choose and can also be adapted to store
chemicals and other hazardous substances.
First Aid Rooms
A construction site can be a high-risk environment. It is the
building industry’s prerogative to ensure the safety of those walking near, or
those walking under the site. It is necessary for a construction site to have
an on-site facility available in the event of occupational injuries. The
recommendation that workers themselves undergo first aid training is
beneficial, as they tend to be vigilant. A first aid room equipped with all
medical supplies and equipment fits inside a portable shipping container
perfectly !
