Restrooms in Offices
Sanitary facilities should be designed for the comfort and safety of all employees. Accessible toilets must provide sufficient space for manoeuvring and support bars, while showers and changing rooms are essential in offices with sports areas or for employees who cycle. Additionally, the use of insulated pipes in sinks prevents accidents and enhances safety in the workplace.
