Disabled toilet hire – everything you need to know

The law and disabled toilets

 

The Disability Act (2010) made it a legal requirement that any attendees on a site (be they visiting or working) must have access to adequate facilities. Anyone who is responsible for the provision of facilities has to provide sanitation facilities as a basic human right which are accessible to all. The Equality Act (2010) sets out specifically that the disabled facilities offered must be to the same standard as those for non-disabled people in order for the event organisers to meet their legal obligations under the Act. The Act defines disability as ‘ having a physical or mental impairment that has a ‘substantial’ and ‘long-term’ negative effect on one’s ability to do normal daily activities.’

Handrails – fixed handrails provide security and ease of movement.

Lowered sink and mirror – available in our luxury disabled units.
