There’s More To Protecting Your Environment Than A Solar Powered Generator
Date: 21/08/23
In this blog, we often talk about the environment and the challenges we all face in the fight against climate change. But what about your own environment on site? With the effects of climate change showing up regularly in our weather, construction sites, road and rail works are increasingly wet, muddy places, creating a local environment that’s not only unpleasant to work in, but potentially unsafe.
Fortunately, Think Hire are as good at protecting your local environment as we are at protecting the wider environment with our solar powered generator.
Think Hire keeps your site safe
In addition to our unrivalled range of renewable energy products, Think Hire also provides a complete suite of environmental controls. From washing hands and muddy boots, to capturing liquid and sewage waste, we have the simple, sustainable solutions you need. Naturally, like all other Think Hire products, these have all been designed to be flexible, portable and practical, so they can be deployed anywhere on site, anywhere in the country, providing instant, impactful answers to everyday environmental issues.
Keeping your site safe
Maintaining a clean, safe environment is about much more than just keeping your site looking smart. Muddy boots are notorious for creating slip hazards, resulting in avoidable accidents and falls. The more you can contain that mud to the working area, the safer the rest of your site will be. Our boot wash station makes this quick and easy for all your site workers, by placing powerful, practical cleaning stations in between the two.
You can also upgrade your boot wash to include handwashing, providing added protection against microorganisms and other unwanted substances.
Locking away waste
As well as separating your site into clean and contaminated areas, Think Hire can also help you to deal with waste efficiently and effectively, meeting all of the current regulations. Our interceptor drip trays are designed to safely capture oil and fuel waste ready for disposal at a licenced site. These flexible units can be used with a wide variety of equipment, including the diesel generator, hybrid diesel and solar powered generator, water pumps and compressors.
Of course, it’s not just your machines that generate waste; your workers do too. But don’t worry, because Think Hire can even help you deal with that. On sites with no connection to the main sewers, we can provide high quality sewage waste tanks for both above and below ground. These are the perfect partners to our eco mobile welfare units, creating a convenient, cost effective solution. Once again, these are fully flexible and portable and can be repositioned as your project develops and your site grows.
Completing our suite of site safety equipment are our fully compliant COSHH storage units. These provide secure storage of all kinds of chemicals, batteries and other hazardous substances. This not only helps you comply with all current HSE guidelines, but also ensures that your environment does not become contaminated, placing your workforce in danger and leading to costly clean-up measures.
Protecting your environment at all levels
At Think Hire, protecting the global environment with simple, renewable alternatives is our number one priority, but we never lose sight of the local environment in which your team works every day. From safe, sustainable site lighting from the solar powered generator, to powerful, flexible boot wash stations to clean away the mud after yet another unusual, unseasonal storm, Think Hire are with you every step of the way as we all adapt to the new normal of unpredictable weather as our climate changes.
