Men and Women 8 Due to lack of
resources men
and women
must use the
same portable
toilet. There
should be no
harm
concerning
this if the
urinals are in a
separate
cabin. Sanitary
waste
disposals are
also separate
for women. To
save space the
sink can be
dual.
Hygiene 9 QM Due to
aggressive
work
environments
cleaning is
always an
issue. It must
be noted that
portable
toilets along

washing
facilities
