Pause for thought - sanitary waste disposal


Sanitary waste disposal within the UK is governed by legislation. This ensures sanitary waste is disposed of in a safe and hygienic manner. The Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulation 1992 recommends that all businesses should ensure all female toilets are provided with a suitable method for disposing sanitary waste.


"in the case of water closets used by women, suitable means should be provided for the disposal of sanitary dressings ie. every cubicle likely to be used females (including disabled and unisex toilets) should have a sanitary disposal facility. If you are responsible for any building where you have women employees, guest and customers etc. you are deemed to be a producer of controlled waste. This waste needs to be disposed of in a proper manner."
