  • Lifting the Lid on Washrooms There’S Something Quintessentially British When It Comes to Talking About Toilets
    Lifting the Lid on Washrooms There’s something quintessentially British when it comes to talking about toilets Introduction The loo, the restroom, the powder room, the washroom - call it what you may - we all spend a lot more time noticing them and talking about them than you think. Even though research finds the average desk at work harbours 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat, our sense of serenity comes from how we regard our restrooms. In restaurants, they impact our perceptions of hygiene while in the workplace grubby washrooms conjure up visions of employers with similarly low standards. In short, toilets say a lot about their owners. All of this is against a backdrop of an emerging national debate about our basic facilities. Not only are their size, design and functionality all being looked at, there is now a serious debate about whether workplaces should allow members of the public, not just their employees, to use their loos. Around 40% of public conveniences have disappeared in the last decade and, in a speech to her fellow MPs in September 2017, Madeleine Moon MP called for business rate reductions as a reward for friendly employers who open their (toilet) doors to a wider clientele. Pragmatically, there is an economic reason behind wanting to maximise the net internal area of a toilet. Dwarfing this though, is an emerging conversation about whether workplaces should dispense with traditional male-female loo labels altogether, and instead only offer gender-neutral toilets - to help transgender and non-binary people feel more comfortable. If even the White House has done it, many are asking why the change can’t be made here too.

  • Kimberly-Clark Continues Crucial Work Amidst Pandemic to Address the Global Sanitation Crisis
    Kimberly-Clark Continues Crucial Work Amidst Pandemic to Address the Global Sanitation Crisis November 18, 2020 Through the Kimberly-Clark Foundation, the 'Toilets Change Lives' program supported sanitation solutions in 10 countries this year DALLAS, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As the pandemic has unfolded, many people focused on access to essential products such as toilet paper. Yet over 2 billion people – or 1 in 4 – around the world – continue to lack access to basic sanitation, including a toilet. Additionally, 785 million – or 1 in 10 – do not have clean water close to home. Kimberly-Clark and several of its trusted brands, including Andrex, Neve, Scott, Suave and Baby Soft, responded to the global sanitation crisis and have engaged consumers through the 'Toilets Change Lives' program over the last six years. Supported by the Kimberly-Clark Foundation, the company launched the program in 2014 initially with its Andrex brand, and it has since provided critical resources in 12 countries and impacted 5 million lives. The United Nations General Assembly officially designated World Toilet Day in 2013 to raise awareness and inspire efforts to bring solutions to the more than 2 billion people who lack access to basic sanitation. This crisis often leads to children dying from preventable diseases, women lacking a safe place to relieve themselves, or missing school and work because they are unable to manage their periods. "The need for access to clean water and sustainable sanitation has never been more urgent," said Jenny Lewis, Vice President of the Kimberly-Clark Foundation. "While the sanitation crisis existed long before the pandemic, the public health crisis combined with the impacts of climate change have only magnified the issue and the need for solutions.

However, menstrual hygiene products widely receive separate treatment in restrooms across the globe. While it would be absurd today to carry a roll of toilet paper at all times, it is considered necessary and common sense for all menstruators to carry menstrual hy- giene products at all times, for approximately forty years, in case of an emergency.

I analyze the situations, laws, civil codes, and perceptions that lead to different toilet styles. As toilets and defecation are taboo subjects, I use online anonymous resources like Zhihu to discover the modern perceptions of people on today’s toilets as well as architecture and statistics. I in part find that I can analyze China’s income disparity through toilets as the Coastal region of China has the most public restrooms and the Western region of China has the least. Then, I analyze what effect and correlation this has on their society. Key Words: Public Restrooms, toilets, gender, privacy, hygiene, China 2 Newsom 3 Table of Contents I. Introduction II.

    BU 17-01-01 BULLETIN: IDENTIFICATION OF SINGLE–USER TOILET FACILITIES AS ALL–GENDER: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Division of the State Architect (DSA) documents referenced within this publication are available DSA Publications webpages. PURPOSE: This bulletin is a supplement to BU 17-01: Identification of Single-User Toilet Facilities as All- Gender and is provided to assist facility operators and design professionals who design facilities under the jurisdiction of DSA in interpreting the requirements of Health and Safety Code (HSC) 118600. DISCUSSION: HSC 118600 requires: a) All single-user toilet facilities in any business establishment, place of public accommodation, or state or local government agency shall be identified as all-gender toilet facilities by signage that complies with Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations, and designated for use by no more than one occupant at a time or for family or assisted use. b) During any inspection of a business or a place of public accommodation by an inspector, building official, or other local official responsible for code enforcement, the inspector or official may inspect for compliance with this section. c) For the purposes of this section, “single-user toilet facility” means a toilet facility with no more than one water closet and one urinal with a locking mechanism controlled by the user. d) This section shall become operative on March 1, 2017. FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: In applying this statute to existing facilities, how does HSC section 118600 reconcile with the provisions in the California Building Standards Code (CBSC)? According to Assembly analysis: Assembly Bill 1732 does not change existing laws with respect to the number of, specifications for, or other facility requirements for restrooms that a business or entity must comply with under the existing CBC or current local ordinances, but changes the restroom identification and availability of use.
