Mobile, temporary or remote workplaces
Where the work involves travelling between different workplaces, or is remote or seasonal, workers need reasonable access to dining facilities. This may involve organising rosters for mobile workers to ensure that they are back at their base location for meal breaks or allowing workers to take their meal breaks at a public cafeteria.
It may be appropriate for some temporary workplaces to provide portable dining facilities such as mobile caravans or transportable lunchrooms.
Access to dining facilities for workers in remote areas, such as loggers or mining exploration workers, may be limited. At times the only enclosed facility available to them may be their vehicle. In this instance portable food storage facilities may be required, such as a car fridge or insulated lunch box.

3.6              Personal storage
Accessible and secure storage should be provided at the workplace for personal items belonging to workers (for example, handbags, jewellery, medication or hygiene supplies). This storage should be separate from that provided for personal protective clothing and equipment in cases where contamination is possible.
Where any work involves the use of tools provided by a worker, provision should be made for secure and weatherproof storage of those tools during non-working hours.

Mobile, temporary or remote workplaces
Where the workplace is temporary or mobile, lockable containers that can be held in a safe place should be provided. Where lockers are provided, they may also serve as secure storage for other personal items.

3.7              Change rooms
If workers have to change in and out of clothing due to the nature of their work, access to private changing areas with secure storage for personal belongings should be provided. This includes workers who need to:
    * wear personal protective clothing or uniforms while they are working
    * leave their work clothing at the workplace.
If male and female workers need to change at the same time, separate male and female changing rooms should be provided. The changing room should allow a clear space of at least 0.5 m² for each worker.
The temperature in the changing room should be maintained so that it is comfortable for workers when changing. Additional heating or cooling may be needed.
Change rooms should be conveniently located and equipped with:
    * seating to enable the numbers of workers changing at one time to sit when dressing or undressing
    * mirrors, either within the changing room or directly outside it
    * an adequate number of hooks and/or shelves.
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
