Sanitary Bins:
Why do I pay and what do I pay for?
Firstly, let’s address the elephant in the room – nobody wants their staff to touch other people’s sanitary waste. But somebody must do it and that’s why we’re here.
There’s more to it than that. Current legislation states that you should adequately provide means by which your staff and customers maintain dignity when disposing of sanitary and personal care waste. These acts are:
Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992
The Water Industries Act 1991
The Environmental Protection Act 1990
Failure to provide adequate sanitary bins in your workplace bathrooms could breach these regulations; however, just as importantly, having sanitary bins in washrooms helps keep staff and visitors comfortable.
Your duty of care expands to ensuring the bins are emptied regularly, and no sanitary/non flushable items should be flushed away. It then goes further to ask that you ensure you properly manage the waste to protect the environment.
Let’s face it, nobody wants to deal with blocked toilets or pay hefty bills and fines because of inadequate disposal, so if you provide adequate sanitary and/or incontinence waste disposal you are helping everyone.
