Hardstaff Barriers is protecting its employees as well as the planet with the introduction of a new welfare van that is supported by solar power.
Features of the welfare van
It has installed a solar panel in the new vehicle, allowing the batteries to be charged via renewable energy, without the need to keep the engine running. The van provides a hot water dispenser, microwave, hand wash facilities, heating, fridge, and lighting, ensuring that staff is comfortable throughout their shift.
Hardstaff introduced the new vehicle to support the mental and physical well-being of its employees while protecting the environment in the process. In addition, noise pollution is reduced, fuel is saved and adequate power is retained for the vehicle to start and operate effectively.
Eco-friendly vehicle
Wes Baker, Fleet and Operational Support Manager at Hardstaff Barriers said, “We are pleased with our new vehicle. Not only does it ensure that our team is cared for while they spend long hours at barrier installation sites, but it does all this without damaging the environment.”
