34.2 Diaper-Changing Station
Provide a diaper-changing station in CHILD ACTIVITY CENTERS where children
in diapers or children who are not toilet trained will be accepted.

34.2.1 Supplies
Include the following in each diaper changing station:
• A diaper-changing table that is impervious, nonabsorbent, nontoxic,
SMOOTH, durable, and cleanable, and designed for diaper changing.
• An airtight, soiled-diaper receptacle.
• An adjacent handwashing station equipped in accordance with section
34.1.2.2.
• A storage area for diapers, gloves, wipes, and disinfectant.
• A sign stating with the exact wording “WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER
EACH DIAPER CHANGE.” The sign should be in English and can also
be in other languages.

34.3 Child-Care Providers
Provide separate toilet and handwashing facilities for child care providers from the
children’s toilet rooms. A public toilet outside the center is acceptable.

34.4 Furnishings

35.0 Housekeeping

35.1 Handwashing Stations
Provide handwashing stations for housekeeping staff. The farthest distance for
handwashing stations is 65 meters (213 feet) forward or aft from the center of the
work zone (based on 18-20 cabins/work zone). Values will be adjusted by the ship
and work zone size. VSP will evaluate the number and location for these
handwashing stations during the plan review process.

35.1.1 Location
Ensure at least one handwashing station is available for each cabin attendant
work zone and on the same deck as the work zone. One handwashing station
may be located between two cabin attendant work zones, and travel across crew
passageways is permitted.

35.1.2 Ice/Deck Pantries
Handwashing stations for housekeeping staff include those in ice/deck pantries
but do not include those located in bars, room service pantries, bell boxes, or
other FOOD AREAS.
