    Hi,

    Looking for some advice for the following. At work, we currently have approximately 150 staff with segregated toilets 4 in total, 2 each for men and women. Management are planning to remove the 2 mens and turn the female bathroom in 4 unisex cubicles.

    Are there any regulations or guidelines available in Ireland regarding the provision for unisex toilets and more importantly the requirement in number of sanitary facilities to meet workplace demand.

    Thanks

    Looks like you should have more.
    Look up toilet provision in offices and the HSA have some guidance

    Scale of Provisions at the time of Construction from Technical Guidance Document Part G and BS6465.
    But that may be trumped now by the Health and Safety and Welfare at work Act or something similar.

    Not sure. Sounds like you should have more bathrooms alright, whether or not they are unisex I don't think matters much (we all have unisex toilets at home if you like)

    What has this got to do with engineering?

    MOD: Report the thread and let the mods decided

    There is a technical question been asked but this maybe more appropriate in the Work Problems section. I can move if required.
