How to Choose the Right Welfare Unit for Your Site

How to Choose the Right Welfare Unit for Your Site

A welfare unit keeps your crew warm, fed and compliant, all in one cabin. Choosing the right one is mostly about matching facilities and size to your workforce.

What a welfare unit includes

Most combine a rest and canteen area, a kitchen with hot water, toilet facilities and a drying room. Some split these across a larger unit; others pack them into a compact mobile welfare cabin.

Sizing for your team

Think about your maximum headcount on site. A small crew may be well served by a compact unit, while larger teams need longer or linked cabins so people can rest and eat comfortably.

Practical tips

Consider access for delivery, power and water connections, and whether you want a mains or tank drainage setup. Tell us your numbers and site details and we'll recommend a suitable refurbished unit.
