Link to loo legislation/ policy please

[WineIsMyCarb]

Hi. I'm challenging the provision of some mixed sex loos that I think fail to meet legislation. At a swimming baths, there is a run of 4 cubicles, half marked male and half female, but they share a bank of basins. They sit alongside some 'family style' changing facilities. Please could someone point me in the direction of the appropriate legislation / policy/ health and safety guidance? I understood that mixed sex loos had to be individual cubicles with a floor to ceiling door amd self contained basin.

Thanks

This is for newbuilds, but encourages single sex provision for all:

You can check the Building Standards website for your local authority, too.

The Health and Safety guidelines for workplaces are here:

And the EA makes provision for single sex facilities:

Thank you

Good example of what happens when you get fully enclosed toilets (I campaign against them as they are dangerous for medically vulnerable people, people having a medical emergency and girls/ women more likely to be sexually assaulted):

The reason toilet doors in wet chlorinated areas don’t reach down to the floor is that they will rot - cleaning is compromised as the mops can’t go under the gaps so gunk ends up on the doors and partitions.
