Provide the right workplace facilities
You must provide the right workplace facilities for everyone in your workplace, including people with disabilities. However this doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming.
Basic things you need to consider are outlined below.
Welfare facilities
For your employees' well-being you need to provide:
toilets and hand basins, with soap and towels or a hand-dryer;
drinking water;
a place to store clothing (and somewhere to change if special clothing is worn for work);
somewhere to rest and eat meals.
Health issues
To have a healthy working environment, make sure there is:
good ventilation – a supply of fresh, clean air drawn from outside or a ventilation system;
a reasonable working temperature (usually at least 16°C, or 13°C for strenuous work, unless other laws require lower temperatures);
lighting suitable for the work being carried out;
enough room space and suitable workstations and seating;
a clean workplace with appropriate waste containers. .
