Chapter 5

Minimum requirements for toilets and wash stations

[ch 5: page 74]

The revised ACOP and guidance lists the minimum facilities that should be provided:

Number of men/women 1-5 6-25 26-50 51-75 76-100
Number of toilets and wash stations 1 2 3 4 5

An additional toilet and wash station should then be provided for every 25 (or fraction of 25) people over 100. Alternative arrangements for facilities only used by men are also set out.

The regulations also specify that an adequate supply of drinking water and cups must be provided (Regulation 22).
