How to equip sanitary facilities on a construction site?

When carrying out construction work, workers should be provided not only with safety (which results, among other things, from building regulations), but also with appropriate hygiene and sanitary conditions (which results primarily from occupational health and safety regulations). Every employer commissioning work on a construction site should also ensure that appropriate sanitary facilities are provided. Their type and size depend primarily on the number of employees, the specific nature of their work and the conditions in which it is performed. Nevertheless, the fittings and fixtures in sanitary facilities are always of crucial importance. What is most important in this case? Several tips will follow later in this post.

 

What should be provided in sanitary facilities on a construction site?

The equipment of sanitary facilities on a construction site must primarily include wash troughs. They should be durable and at the same time feature a lightweight structure. Laminate is one of the best materials used to make wash troughs for this type of application. They are suitable not only for sanitary facilities on construction sites, but also in other workplaces.

On many construction sites, it is also necessary to equip sanitary facilities with shower cubicles. In this case, laminate also offers the best properties due to its lightness, durability and resistance to mechanical damage. It is also crucial that individual structural elements are corrosion resistant.

Our company provides shower cubicles that are designed and manufactured based on individual customer needs. This allows their dimensions and shapes to be adapted to the specific space in which they will ultimately be used. We provide, among other things, custom-made cubicles, corner cubicles and shower cubicle rows.

The obligation to provide showers applies to situations where work is carried out on the construction site that may cause the body to become dirty. There should be at least one shower cubicle for every eight workers.
