  • 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.
