Narrative: This was my first experience on the B767-200. I am absolutely appalled that these are allowed to operate in a first world country with Human Rights regulation. First of all the Honey Pot. It's not serviced properly and should be at every station. They just add more chemicals to the point it's so strong that when I open it to pee; my eyes burn from the ammonia. If this alone isn't a hazard to flight I do not know what is. Then there comes the fact that no sink is installed. I am going to be very direct but honest. And if what I am about to say makes you squirm then you should be ashamed for making us work in these conditions. We have no way to wash our hands. So; if we preflight and get glycol (hazardous if swallowed); on our hands; engine oil (hazardous if swallowed); jet fuel (hazardous if swallowed); god forbid Skydrol (extremely hazardous if swallowed) or the best for last feces; that's right good ol' human poop from wiping and you have a poke thru and now there is poop on your fingers or under your nails. We are supposed to just use some hand sanitizer and call it good to go. NO. NO. It's not good to go. And then go eat a sandwich? Where we just smeared that around on our hands? So if I come to corporate with different tubs labeled FUEL; OIL; GLYCOL; SKYDROL; POOP; and let you all pick a tub get it all on your hands; squirt a little hand sanitizer on it and then give you all sandwiches to hold and eat you are OK with that? Would you give it to your kids? I have a little girl and boy that I would like to see and watch grow; without knowing my company is knowingly poisoning me and potentially causing me cancer or bodily harm. You are going to say well use a water bottle. Well guess what; no soap. Also guess what. That means I am washing my hands in the toilet. Where there is now blue juice splashing up with human urine and feces in it which is a Bio Hazard. So no. Who is going to hold the water bottle? The solution is to have at least a tank on the wall like some of the B767-300's and a sink for it to go into. For the life of me I do not see how this is not a human rights violation. Sani-coms are just alcohol and paper. It's a proven fact that the best way to cleanse your hands is using soap and water. Read any medical journal on the planet. Hopefully this gets resolved and we get sinks with water installed.




Synopsis: A Cargo Carrier pilot reported an aircraft did not have a sink installed in the lavatory so the crew could not wash their hands.
