Where change rooms are provided, it may be reasonably practicable to provide lockers for storing clothing and personal belongings. Lockers should be:
    * well ventilated, accessible and secure
    * a sufficient size to accommodate clothing and personal belongings.
There should also be a clear space of at least 1800 mm between rows of lockers facing each other and at least 900 mm between lockers and a seat or wall.

Mobile, temporary or remote workplaces
Where the workplace is located away from buildings or other fixed accommodation, portable private facilities containing secure storage and seating should be provided.

3.8              Shower facilities
Certain jobs may involve dirty, hot or hazardous work and may require the provision of showering facilities. For example, jobs including mining, fire fighting, work in abattoirs, foundry work, welding, and police search and rescue.
At least one shower cubicle for every 10 workers who may need to shower should be provided. Usually separate facilities should be provided for male and female workers. However, in small or temporary workplaces where privacy can be assured, it may be acceptable to provide one unisex shower.
Showers should have:
    * a floor area of not less than 1.8 m²
    * a slip-resistant surface that is capable of being sanitised
    * partitions between each shower that are at least 1650 mm high and no more than 300 mm above the floor
    * an adjacent dressing area for each shower containing a seat and hooks
    * a lockable door enclosing the shower and dressing cubicle.
Each shower should be supplied with clean hot and cold water and individual non-irritating soap or another cleaning product. If grime or other by-products of the work process cannot be removed just by washing, individual nail or scrubbing brushes should be provided. Also provide drying facilities such as towels if the work the workers carry out means they need to shower before leaving the workplace.

Mobile, temporary or remote workplaces
If workers work in remote or temporary locations, they should have access to shower facilities. This may involve providing portable shower units of the same standard.
