Site owners should always provide welfare units for their workers where they can’t use local toilets and they have a legal obligation to do this. Proper maintenance of a welfare unit should be seen as essential, and they need to be serviced and kept clean regularly. To meet the required standard this needs to be done weekly as a minimum.
These standards are set by regulatory bodies including the HSE. They state that toilet facilities should ideally be connected to mains water and drainage systems. If this isn’t possible, then a built-in water supply and holding tank must be provided. Consideration also needs to be given to the number of toilets needed for the number of workers on a site. The frequency of cleaning will always depend on their usage.

Apart from legal requirements to provide and maintain Welfare Units it’s essential to keep your Welfare Units spotless because:
· It’s great for the wellbeing of your employees and shows the company values them.
· Regular cleaning will mean employees will be happy to use the facilities provided.
· There will be less time lost from employees taking sick leave if they catch a bug from unsanitary welfare units, meaning your project will be completed faster.
· The maintenance schedule will also include measures to keep the facility clean overall. This is massively important, especially on muddy sites.
