Discuss Toilet facilities on the job in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Been on plenty sites where no toilet is available , or a bucket in the corner is the only facility provided

disgusting memories watching the plumber taking a massive sh!t in a bucket
 
There are laws about toilets and requirement when x plus on site etc ?

15 years ago we rolled up on behalf of a world Famous interior designer .To Do a large project . Everything from £1300 a roll wallpaper in some rooms and seriously valuable antique lights etc etc . Kitchen was also been re painted (Cabinets ) and new stone etc . Clients living in during works . Day one... The lady announces no one is to use any toilet or eat or drink within the property . Now , This designer has a team to work out all the contracts etc , site visits etc .Yet no one had mentioned the "use of facilities " during long working days etc . She expected vehicles to be parked on the road and not the drive etc etc . Lucky the designer 'Held rank" and could have easily moved the teams onto another job same day for most . She was "told" to make a toilet available and allow vehicles on site . The idea that things like this are not mentioned and planned before hand is madness and can lead to arguments .
 
Like I say, it doesn't have to be a state of the art toilet, we just want something, its alright ----ing in a grid for a while but if there are half a dozen of you it still stinks after a few days and you also have to be wary of the neighbours catching you with your old chap out, its not a lot to ask, and I would have thought a lot easier to implement that getting another tradesperson in.

The good thing about our job is you cant get sacked, if you don't like a job or the client doesn't like you you simply pack your tools up and move onto the next job, you don't have to worry about your P45 or going to the jobcentre etc, its just another day another job.
 
I never do a no. 2 on site, especially domestic. I have always been taught that is not on. Yet I have seen some persons using a sink for a cockle-doodle-doo (rhymes with!) There are some animals on site sometimes. No bladder control, just don't feel the need during the working day.
