Why hiring a mobile safety shower is a perfect compliance solution for summer shutdowns

With summer shutdown season and its associated maintenance approaching, it’s time to consider the requirement for safety showers on your site while your regular ones are offline.

We have the perfect solution. You can simply hire one of our mobile safety shower units for the duration of the shutdown. This enables you to remain compliant with your decontamination shower requirements while still performing maintenance work.

We’re now in the season where many factories, construction sites, mines, and quarries undergo a summer shutdown period for a few weeks. However, the need for safety protocols never takes a holiday, and where risks remain, it’s vital that worksites continue to have functioning PPE available during shutdown periods, which are often used for maintenance.

A compliance problem

During summer shutdowns, it’s not uncommon for fixed safety showers to have their water supply disconnected. This creates a major problem, for the risks that they mitigate against still pose a threat to remaining workers on site, such as those involved in maintenance.

A compliance solution

In situations where water supplies to fixed shower units are disconnected, hiring in a mobile safety shower bowser unit is an ideal solution. Businesses need only hire the safety shower unit for the duration of their shutdown, so you don’t need to invest in major capital outlay for a temporary solution, while still remaining compliant and keeping your staff and contractors safe.
