Try talking to the relevant government authority in your area. Surely, they could help you with this question.

Hi Buddy,

According to TN Factories Rules-1950, there should be one urinal for every 50 employees up to 500, and thereafter one for every 100. Additionally, there should be one latrine for every 20 employees up to 100, and thereafter one for every 50.

With Regards,

Dear sir,

Greetings for the day.

Toilets should be calculated as follows:
- Employees 1 to 15: 1 Toilet
- Employees 16 to 35: 2 Toilets
- Employees 36 to 55: 3 Toilets
- Employees 56 to 80: 4 Toilets
- Employees 81 to 110: 5 Toilets
- Employees 111 to 150: 6 Toilets
- For over 150 employees: 1 additional toilet for every 40 employees

Out of the total requirement for male employees, 33% can be substituted by urinals.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear P.P.,

Please refer to your State's Factories Rules. All State Factories Rules prescribe the number of toilets and other amenities for the workers (employees).

I feel the members should take the trouble to consult relevant statutes before posting the question.

Utility Blocks in Factory Layout

When submitting the factory plant layout for approval, it is important to show the number of workers and, accordingly, the number of utility blocks in the drawings. It is advisable to insist on a higher number of utility blocks rather than just providing the minimum. This ensures that the blocks can accommodate any substantial rise in the workforce in the future.

When calculating the number of utility blocks, consider all workers, including staff and contract workers, for any one shift or relay. The maximum workforce in any one shift will be the deciding factor.

Section 19 in The Factories Act, 1948

19. Latrines and urinals.

(3) The State Government may prescribe the number of latrines and urinals to be provided in any factory in proportion to the number of male and female workers ordinarily employed therein. It may also provide for further matters in respect of sanitation in factories, including the obligation of workers in this regard, as it considers necessary in the interest of the health of the workers employed therein.

Please refer to your state government TN factory rules 1950.
