A squat toilet can be more hygienic than a Western style bowl depending on
circumstances. On installing Western type toilets here, great difficulties
were encountered by the workers squatting on the toilet seats rather than
sitting, causing damage to the seat and often missing with their aim making
it impossible for the next person to sit. It is all about keeping the
toilets in a clean and sanitary condition, I have never seen regulations
concerning toilet design.

Dear members,
To my knowledge is a squat toilet (in good condition) allowed to use in a
(sea-)food processing plant. Or not?
Veterinary employees in Morocco now tell us that these type of toilets are
not allowed in a seafood processing plant. Is this true?
Are there legal (national) regulations that prohibit the use of squat
toilets?
Many thanks for a reply.
With best regards,
K. Tuijp
