Requirement

The UoC shall allow employees to move around the workplace to freely access sanitary facilities and have access to drinking water during their shift. **

How Do I Interpret This Requirement?

  • The UoC should ensure that employees’ access to drinking water is unrestricted.

  • Free movement of employees to use sanitary facilities and access water:

    • helps prevent:

      • dehydration

      • heath stress

      • related health issues that can arise when workers are denied access to water

      • accidents and injuries caused by discomfort or dehydration.

      • is sometimes guided by health and safety or food safety procedures. For example, the farm may need employees to change clothes for food preparation or move to a designated area for health and safety reasons.

      • Where employees have special needs, for example health needs that require frequent food and water, these needs are accommodated.

      • Employee representation and clear grievance mechanisms (Criterion 3.12) can support these practices.

Evidence of Implementation

  • clearly labelled sanitary facilities and drinking water.

Auditors Should Confirm

  • that employees are aware of this requirement and feel able to access these basic needs.
