Clean, private, and women-only facilities will soon be required
The province is introducing new legislation that would require a better bathroom experience for construction workers, which includes providing on-site toilets for women.
The province said the legislation would also ensure that women would have access to properly fitting equipment such as uniforms, boots and safety harnesses.At a time when efforts are underway to attract more women to the skilled trades, this is seen as one way to make their experience in construction more comfortable.
McNaughton recently shared stories on his social media feeds from construction workers complaining about the dirty conditions of on-site washrooms, many of whom said they travel off site to use a toilet rather than use the facilities on site. "I simply avoided drinking anything before heading underground for 10 years as I simply refused to take all of my gear off to face a porta potty ," she wrote in the reply read by McNaughton. "Then, after having to face a porta potty, with no door and in complete darkness, I created the Covergalls."The Christian Labour Association of Canada welcomed the news as “important progress” in creating a more diverse workplace.
