Good afternoon all

Can anybody point me in the right direction as to what employers must provide in their disabled toilets i.e. shelving units, mirrors, handrails etc. Obviously, it is a requirement to provide the regular welfare requirements, but is there anything additional written in legislation or guidance.

Anything would be of use

Scott

This used to be covered by the Building Regs Doc M (not sure if that's still the case)? There's an overview here which included links to the regs in the bibliography at the end: http://www.amwell-systems.com/media/1374/amwell-washroom-dda-regulations.pdf

Worth trying to check if this is all still current as it has been some time since I had any involvement with this particular area but hopefully a useful startign point for you if nothing else. Might be worth checking the Equality Act too?

Google is your friend here - this is a sample of what I have found.

In fact, have a read through this which also includes the toilet layout etc: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/access-to-and-use-of-buildings-approved-document-m
