Posted By BarryS I'm fairly sure this is against some safety / hygiene regulations - can anyone tell me what they are exactly?

Jones Food Safety (General Food Hygiene) Regulations 1995, Part 4, Chapter 1, Paragraph 3 states: 'Lavatories must not lead directly into rooms in which food is handled' Advice on good practice within the Industry Guide to Good Hygiene Practice: Catering Guide ISBN 0 900 103 00 0' also advises that 'There should be an intervening ventilated space between toilets and food rooms. Food should not be stored in that space'

Posted By Alan Haynes I wonder if IOSH HQ still has the room that opens off the disabled toilet, near to the room used for Council meetings etc, set up as a 'quasi kitchen'/food storage area for the refreshments machine nearby? Not that they would ever break any rules/guidance of course!

Posted By Del Basi Barry This issue is also covered by the 'Workplace (health, safety and welfare) Regulations 1992 (as amended)'. Please refer to the ACoP section on 'ventilation, cleanliness and lighting'. Best wishes. Del
