We are just looking at some new accommodation for our employees, it is a large site. The toilet facilities are a small walk (2 mins – outside) away from where the staff rest room is, I’ve looked at the Welfare ACOP and all i can see is “Suitable and sufficient sanitary conveniences shall be provided at readily accessible places.” and “Sufficient facilities should be provided to enable everyone at work to use them without undue delay” Is there any maximum distance or time away from the rest rooms? The toilet facilities exceed the requirements....when you get there.

I'm on a site where the nearest toilet could be 2.2 miles away depending on the exact location of the work. Transport is provided.

At various points around the site undertake an experiment e.g. wait until U want to 'Go' [really want to 'Go'] and then try to 'Go' from that point. U will soon realise how far away a toilet needs to be In my personal view there is no excuse these days of needing to travel 2 miles to a 'loo' in 90% of workplaces inclusive of forestry and similar areas!

Chris, I think in that circumstance, "going to the toilet" could become a bit of an involuntary function! I get the heebie-jeebies* just watching the film!!!! *bite me, spell-checker.
