Been to look at job today to wire lights and a fan in three separate shower cubicles on a campsite. Each of the cubicles will have a separate internal shower enclosure, toilet and hand basin. The lights/fan will be controlled by pir which activates as someone enters the room.
I want to fit fan isolator for each of the 3 cubicles. There is a small plant room where DB will be and was thinking of placing lockable isolation switch’s in there. Is there a maximum distance that isolation switches can be placed. I would normally put them outside the bathroom door. But in this instance outside the door is literally outside . I could have a pull cord isolator in the ceiling of each cubicle but would prefer to keep all the cubicles free of switches/ isolator if possible. One of the cubicles will be adjacent to the plant room. The second one will be 4 metres from plant room and the third one will be 7 meters.

Thank you
 
The users would not be expected to make use of the fan isolation switches
Any operation would I assume be by maintenance personel only, siting them in the Plant room would seem to be the sensible action
As far as I know,local isolation is all that is expected and local in your circumstances is as near or far as what you decide
 
Can't see the problem, providing they are labelled clearly and are capable of being locked off.
