In every place of business or industrial establishment, there
shall be provided suitable, adequate and convenient water closets
and washing facilities, separate for each sex and plainly so designated,
of such number, in such location and so constructed, lighted, ventilated,
arranged and maintained as may be determined by such reasonable rules
and regulations as the Division of Health may adopt. No person shall
be allowed to use a closet or privy provided for the use of persons
of the opposite sex. If any such establishment is so located that
a connection with the sewer system is, in the opinion of the Division
of Health, impossible or inpracticable, it shall provide such suitable
toilet and washing facilities as the Division may require.
In every establishment where persons are employed, there shall
be provided within reasonable access a sufficient number of proper
water closets. Where persons of both sexes are employed together,
separate water closet compartments or toilet rooms shall be provided
for each sex and shall be plainly designated for the use of persons
of each sex.
The number of seats shall not be less than one (1) to every
fifteen (15) persons or fraction thereof, based upon the maximum number
of persons of either sex employed at one time.
Every water closet compartment shall be ventilated directly
to the outside air by windows, skylight or other suitable openings.
In all water closet compartments hereafter constructed, there
shall be at least ten (10) square feet of floor space and eighty (80)
cubic feet of air space per urinal or seat installed.
Hereafter whenever urinals are installed, the floors in front
for a distance of at least twenty-four (24) inches shall slope to
the drain. All urinals shall be made of impervious noncorrosive materials
and shall be individual and of the vertical mold slab type.
All toilets and urinals shall be kept clean. Regular and thorough
cleanings shall be practiced. Disinfection alone shall not be relied
upon.
An adequate supply of toilet paper shall be provided in each
and every water closet compartment, and said toilet paper shall be
kept in a fixture attached to the walls of the compartment.
All water closets, traps, flush tanks and pipes shall be effectively
protected against freezing.
