The work environment creates unique sanitation issues due to: the number of people regularly using facilities, to wet processes, to toxic substances being used, and to the need to wash hands prior to eating.
OSHA’s sanitation requirements apply to all employers providing permanent places of employment. Note: Mobile crews and normally unattended work locations do not have to comply with the Toilet Facilities or Washing Facilities requirements, if employees working at these locations have transportation immediately available to nearby toilet facilities which meet the other requirements of this standard.
