The Importance of Quality Bathroom Facilities

The importance of quality bathroom facilities that are maintained and look good is often ignored by many businesses in Australia. This contradicts studies such as this one that indicate that there are numerous disadvantages to having a low quality bathroom experience when it comes to both staff and customers. Below we will explore the disadvantages and problems that arise from a poor bathroom. We will look at your responsibilities – both legally and morally, and how you can achieve a great bathroom experience.

In the study mentioned above, almost half of building occupants responded that there could be an improvement to their washrooms. A further 16.5% indicated that they are unhappy at work due to the bathrooms state. They responded that it effects their productivity. Bathrooms are important because they show your staff and customers that you care about their well being. The proper facilities also protect the users from cross contamination and health risks associated with low hygiene. The low bathroom quality may be due to trying to lower costs, however, the loss in productivity, the higher use of other consumables (such as using toilet paper or hand towels on the seats or to open doors) increases costs.

You have legal requirements you need to meet in Australia. For example, supplying the means to dispose of sanitary waste, the number/types of toilets needed, the replenishment of soap and other hygiene products. But it is expected that you go beyond these expectations. Employers have a moral obligation to provide their staff with hygienic and maintained washroom facilities.
