Without knowing exactly what work they are doing it is difficult to say. Regs say that: 25. (b)include suitable facilities to eat meals where food eaten in the workplace would otherwise be likely to become contaminated Which you are meeting from the sounds of it. They also say: 21. (1) Suitable and sufficient washing facilities, including showers if required by the nature of the work or for health reasons, shall be provided at readily accessible places. So you will certainly need warm water, soap, sink and dry hand towels for the washing of hands, forearm and faces prior to your guys eating. Do they end up covered head to toe in waste? If so, showers may be required too. Of course if they just wear overalls they should be able to take these off, then wash and eat. But that means this reg comes into play: 24. (1) Suitable and sufficient facilities shall be provided for any person at work in the workplace to change clothing in all cases where— (a)the person has to wear special clothing for the purpose of work; and. (b)the person can not, for reasons of health or propriety, be expected to change in another room.. (2) Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (1), the facilities mentioned in that paragraph shall not be suitable unless they include separate facilities for, or separate use of facilities by, men and women where necessary for reasons of propriety. So that's different changing areas for men and women and somewhere separate for them to store their overalls from where they are eating. I hope that gives you some food for though (pun totally intended!) and helps. For reference I have used this for the legislation: http://www.legislation.g.../1992/3004/contents/made

No problem, glad to have helped!
