The invention describes a welfare unit (1) such as a toilet, shower or storage facility having an enclosure defining a unitary body (2) with access door (7) and means for attaching (4) the enclosure/welfare unit to a lifting hoist. The means for attachment is adapted to transfer lifting forces evenly throughout the enclosure via frame elements (25) moulded integrally with the unitary body to provide a rateable lifting weight (safe working load) of said enclosure substantially greater than the inherent weight of the enclosure, including access door and fittings associated with the function thereof. There is further describes a method of forming a welfare unit comprising an enclosure having frame elements integrally formed therein. The method includes preferred moulding steps, formation of the means for attachment to a lifting hoist and selecting interior components to define the utility of the welfare unit.
