Many work sites undergo a ‘summer shutdown’ period, during which essential maintenance is carried out. This often entails shutting off water supplies to fixed safety shower units, and perhaps even taking the safety shower itself apart for maintenance. Unfortunately, this creates a major problem—while the production process may be shut down, the latent risks may still be there and pose a potential threat to the employees you do have on site, for example, maintenance staff or safety officers. As such, it is absolutely crucial that your business is able to compensate for the fact that you temporarily don’t have a usable decontamination shower. Fortunately, our sister company, Gaslines Ltd, has a solution for just that situation. Enter the hire-in mobile safety shower bowser.
Hiring a safety shower keeps your business compliant
Gaslines Ltd. can provide mobile safety shower units to your site for as long as you need, be it a few days, weeks, months, or even years. The Hughes 1200L mobile safety shower bowser is ideal for this, for it is capable of maintaining a consistent supply of tepid water at the rate of 76L per minute for 15 minutes, which is critical for thorough decontamination to take place. Thus, the unit is compliant with EN and ANSI standards for decontamination showers.
Hiring a safety shower is convenient
Hiring a safety shower means that there’s no additional capital outlay, you simply pay for the duration you need it, and we’ll arrange delivery and pick-up too.
