A client has a manufacturing unit and approx 75m away he has rented another unit to install new welfare facilities, toilets, kitchen, dining/restroom etc.. as he needs the space in his exiting unit for machinery; Is 75m acceptable. Nothing in the regulations about how far they can be.

Having worked in factories where it has been a 20 minute plus brisk walk 75m is not excessive.

Even the current employers business has a 100m traverse from the end of the unit to the facilities area.

The only niggle I suspect is going to be the weather moving between units and employees (especially office staff) being used to shorter travel. There is a company round the corner from us with a similar (shorter distance) arrangement who seem to have a collection of golf umbrellas at the door for when it is raining.

Thank you all

Ive had a chat with the MD and already mentioned golf umberella, and he said he would provide wet weather clothing if necessary. Also the office section in the existing building has a single unisex toilet which he says they can use if necessary.
