Five advantages of safety shower rental

For many industries, emergency safety showers are an essential item of PPE that cannot be overlooked in order to meet compliance requirements. However, it’s not always practical to purchase one outright, and in such situations safety shower rental can have great advantages. We’ll take a look at five of them in this article.

1. Renting an emergency safety shower unit means no capital outlay

There’s no capital outlay when you choose to hire an emergency safety shower unit, you simply pay for the time you need it. For many businesses, this is a very cost- effective solution, particularly when they require only a safety shower unit for the duration of a given project. There’s no need to worry about asset depreciation either.

2. Hiring an emergency safety shower can help you meet compliance before financing a permanent one

Even in situations where it’s more practical for your business to buy a safety shower outright, hiring a unit can help you meet compliance requirements in the short term while you source finance for a permanent solution.

3. Renting an emergency safety shower can boost your capacity as required

In some situations (for example, a construction project) the amount of safety showers that you require on-site may fluctuate depending on the phase. This is where hiring a safety shower can come into its own, as you can hire extra units as and when required, without needing to worry about storing them when not required.

4. You don’t need to worry about obsolescence when choose safety shower rental

When you purchase any piece of capital equipment, in all likelihood you’re not going to be replacing it at any high frequency. However, when you hire a safety shower, you can have access to the latest models as the cost of replacing falls on the hiring company and not you, the user.

5. Long-term storage and maintenance requirements are not an issue when you rent a safety shower

When it comes to equipment, storage can be a significant overhead in itself. Mobile safety shower units are no exception here. So, if your business doesn’t require the unit all year, going down the rental road has advantages in that you don’t have to worry about storing and maintaining the unit when not in use, for it goes back to the hiring company.
