Hi I know the requirements for sanitary conveniences for both men and women, but does anyone have any guidance that I can quote in respect of making provisions (bin to accomodate sanitary towels and collection service)??

Sanitary towels for men!! Am I missing something!! Never used one in my 49yrs Ring up a hygiene company to provide the service for you. via your cleaners etc. Health, Safety & Welfare Regs require such provision, as no doubt you are aware.

It is an ACoP in the Workplace health, safety and welfare Regs, the ACoP is in Paragraph 197. Hope that helps.

Yes, the HSE has guidance (well ACoP actually) as Lisa has pointed out. The trick is to bring up the relevant document and then use the 'find' function in the 'edit' menu! We use a service such as PHS.
