How Industrial Lockers for Workers Boost Morale in Remote Areas

Written by Marissa Morin | Mar 4, 2020

Employees working on remote job sites often sacrifice comfort to get the job done. They spend long hours in rigorous conditions which, over time, may lead to low morale and productivity. The addition of a clean, climate-controlled space with access to restrooms and working showers can do wonders for employee morale, helping to retain valuable, hard-to-replace workers.

Why do Companies Need Industrial Lockers for Workers?

The oil and gas industry, among others, often uses industrial lockers for workers on remote job sites. The convenient space allows employees to take a break, use the restroom, store valuables and uniforms, clean up, and change clothes. Access to a nearby and comfortable locker room helps keep employees’ belongings safe while boosting productivity.

Additionally, workers exposed to contaminants on job sites need a durable decontamination station to maintain their health. Employees need a space to remove personal protective equipment, shower, and change clothes.

To better accommodate remote workers, we created a multi-purpose industrial locker room out of a 40-foot shipping container. It contains storage space for personal belongings, showers, and a restroom for workers.

Why choose a Shipping Container Locker Room?

As a manufacturer of modified shipping containers, we understand the versatility of these repurposed cargo boxes. ISO containers are inherently mobile and durable, making great repurposed structures. Our mobile locker room provides the ideal solution for industrial companies in remote locations.

Companies can easily place the structure whenever it’s needed. The mobility of containerized, industrial lockers allows companies to quickly reposition the structure when employees change locations, ultimately reducing downtime needed for bathroom breaks. It also eliminates the need to construct new facilities at each location. Additionally, employees appreciate the clean, climate-controlled environment – something you won’t find in a traditional porta-potty.

Over the years, we’ve simplified the art of creating safe, comfortable container structures for employees. We accomplished this feat by developing methods that integrate comfort and safety features into shipping containers, including:

  • Climate control systems and insulation that combats extreme weather conditions.
  • Easy-to-clean restrooms with toilets, sinks, and showers (including plug-and-play plumbing).
  • Turnkey electrical and plumbing.
  • Convenient, sturdy personnel doors and privacy windows.

A designated space focused on employee comfort and safety boosts morale. Our turnkey, 40-foot locker room is helpful for many industry sectors:

  • Oil and gas (natural gas plants, oil field job sites).
  • Construction.
  • Mining. 
  • Industrial plants.
  • Chemical plants.
  • Landscaping, golf courses, and more.
