These recent weeks and months have been challenging and many premises have been left empty while operations have been placed on hold. During the lockdown, many businesses have turned their focus to undertaking work at height tasks that are often difficult to take on when sites are open or when production is in full swing. As a result we have seen increased demand for short-term work at height equipment hire from a range of sectors, from manufacturing rail, petroleum and FM in schools and sports facilities.
Now, as the focus begins to turn to restarting your business operations, there are new challenges to face.
Many organisations are now looking ahead to resumption of operations, planning their return to work following months of coronavirus restrictions and preparing to meet the robust health and safety standards required to safely restart operations. For a guidance on planning to return and risk assessments, read our blog series on readiness to re-open considerations here.
For almost all businesses across the UK, the urgent priority is how to get back to work as quickly as possible and with the appropriate health, safety and hygiene measures in place to protect their employees and their clients.
Flexible hire solutions | helping you to restart quickly and safely
Short term hire solutions can help your business return to work both quickly and safely whilst keeping costs to a minimum.
