Work Toilets

2000 men should have 4 for the first 100 then 1 extra for every 50. So there should be 4+38 toilets.
If women are at the same place of work the numbers will be more, 8+78.
Ref HSE 1992 regulation 20.
Andi.
 
In my work there are 3 or 4 toilets on our floor for about 60 people. Used to find some horrendous sights (and smells) in them. As someone mentioned you wonder "how did that get there??". Regular emails sent round saying stop being animals etc. Either the culprits have left or I've been lucky of late. I still get the fear when I go in and find the lid down...what will I find when I lift it?
 
Our toilets at work are plentiful, never struggle to find one. Each cubicle is large and roomy (with proper floor to ceiling doors, none of these ridiculous gaps at the top or bottom) , has its own sink in a marble top, hand towels and hand dryer. Luxury loo roll, and they're cleaned 4 times a day.

Get a proper job OP :p

In T-mobile our delightful Muslim staff used to STAND on the rim of the toilet and quite regularly *miss* and poo would be everywhere. Not just in one office, but in our Birmingham office as well. In the end they locked the toilet in the Birmingham office and you would have to sign out a key. All very pathetic.
 
unisex loos with sink, hand dryer etc.. ought to be the future tbh... I reckon people treat them better simply because they're a bit nicer and/or maybe because they don't want to come out of one after making a mess only to see say the cute girl from reception enter the loos
 
Totally illegal AFAIK.

The relevant legislation is the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. Regulation 20, Sanitary conveniences, states:

  1. Suitable and sufficient sanitary conveniences shall be provided at readily accessible places.
  2. Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (1), sanitary conveniences shall not be suitable unless -
    1. the rooms containing them are adequately ventilated and lit;
    2. they and the rooms containing them are kept in a clean and orderly condition; and
    3. separate rooms containing conveniences are provided for men and women except where and so far as each convenience is in a separate room the door of which is capable of being secured from inside.
The Approved code of practice goes on to give minimum numbers of facilities:

According to that guide you should have 80 toilets and 80 urinals for 2000 people. Clearly 20 isnt enough plus the fall foul of the "kept in clean and orderly condition" and therefore dont count to the required numbers if they are dirty.

Nooooooo. Women are supposed to be worse than men. I don't want to see used feminine hygiene products thank you.

Yeah, our workplace sent around a note about the state of the ladies toilet. I don't know what the issue was, but apparently it wasn't pretty. The gents is always fine, despite twice as many using them as the ladies.

see the above by Avenged7Fold, the ladies get a little plastic bin to put that stuff in, my old work had unisex toilets like that except a bit nicer/tidier
 
The biggest thing that irks me about toilets in my work place is that nobody seems to know how to flush a toilet

Couldn't agree more. My last office had just those, was amazing. Never encountered any mess at all.

Middle of summer is worse. Sitting in that sweltering blue container that's barely bigger than a coffin smelling the bloo for loo and other people five day old turds. Notwithstanding the gamble if there's any loo roll, water in the tap or water left in the loo to wash your deposit down before you have to push it down with an empty bog roll roll.
