    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.

    Subject: squat toilet

    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
