CWC Site Facilities

Introduction

This topic deals with the toilet and washing facilities that must be available at or through the CWC and how they are managed.

Toilet facilities

The CWC must have appropriate toilet facilities available for both genders.

All worksites must also have toilet facilities available that comply with the local government authority's requirements. These facilities are to be provided by the work project sponsor, and can consist of a portable toilet such as a toilet tent.

The service manager makes regular checks that these requirements are met.
