That is grossly out of code [0]. With only two urinals, there should be a minimum of six full toilets.
Management should be alerted to the violation ASAP so that they can take immediate corrective action, followed up by a complaint to OSHA.

- singron 11y agoOur office has the same issue. The problem is, the code only talks about number of employees but not proportional allocation between genders. It's possible that they have 200 men but less than 230 employees. This means they need 8 waterclosets, but naturally the builders made 4 for women and 4 for men. It's up to code, but don't expect to always be able to use the bathroom at work.
- jsprogrammer 11y agoThe table is per sex. So, if you have 100 females, you need at least 5 water closets available to females.
- zimpenfish 11y agoSadly OSHA has no jurisdiction over the UK. On the other hand, http://www.hse.gov.uk/contact/faqs/toilets.htm http://www.hse.gov.uk/contact/faqs/toilets.htm is the relevant document - which agrees that 2C+2U is too few.
