From January 1, 2025, new Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulations will come into effect in Queensland, significantly impacting sanitary and hygiene standards across construction sites in the state. These regulations, outlined in the Work Health and Safety (Amenities for Construction Work) Amendment Regulation 2024, introduce specific requirements for toilets and hygiene amenities, including mandatory female-only toilets equipped with sanitary bins.
What Do These New WHS Regulations Mean for You?
Construction sites in Queensland categorized as “small” ($250,000 – $7.5 million), “large” (over $7.5 million), or “multilevel” (buildings four levels or higher, excluding ground level) will now have explicit obligations to provide:
- At least one toilet for every 15 construction workers.
- Specifically designated female toilets, required for sites with more than 15 workers on small projects and all large and multilevel projects, at a minimum ratio of 1 female toilet per 100 workers.
- Sanitary bins adjacent to every designated female toilet.
