Creating bathroom and toilet facilities for staff and customers – Commercial Building Solutions

It is essential that employees, no matter how small a business is, have ready access to toilet facilities in order to ensure good health. This is because research has shown that if employees don’t have easy and ready access to toilet facilities they may start to reduce the amount of liquid they intake, which can lead to health problems such as bladder and kidney disease.

When it comes to assessing the number of toilets that are required for a business you need to consider the number of employees within the business as well as how many visitors your business has and whether you get visits from members of the public. In some cases you may wish to have separate toilets for your employees and your customers; this is especially needed if your staff area is located behind closed doors where your customers are not permitted access.

If your business is located within a multi storey building then it is important that the toilets are located on at least every second storey. Also larger employers within shopping complexes, such as department stores and supermarkets would reasonably be expected to provide their own toilets to facilitate quick access for employees and customers.

All of the bathroom facilities that are present within businesses need to be lockable from the inside and should be built with the correct hygienic means for aspects such as the disposal of sanitary items. Toilets should be kept clean and hygienic at all times and be positioned to ensure users' privacy.

Separate toilets should be installed for males and females and regular checks should be carried out to make sure they are up to standards.
