VSP 2018 Construction Guidelines

7.2.2 Mixing Valve
Supply hot and cold POTABLE WATER through a mixing valve to a faucet
with the appropriate BACKFLOW protection at each bucket-filling station.

7.2.3 Deck Drainage
Provide appropriate deck drainage (e.g., SCUPPER or sloping deck to DECK
DRAIN) under all bucket-filling stations to eliminate any pooling of water on
the decks below the bucket-filling station.

7.3 Crew Public Toilet Rooms for Food Service Employees

7.3.1 Location and Number
Install at least one employee toilet room in close proximity to the work area of
all FOOD PREPARATION AREAS. [Beverage-only service bars are excluded.]

Provide one toilet per 25 employees and provide separate facilities for males
and females if more than 25 employees are assigned to a FOOD
PREPARATION AREA (excluding wait staff). This refers to the shift with the
maximum number of FOOD employees excluding wait staff. Urinals may be
installed but do not count toward the toilet/employee ratio.

7.3.1.1 Main Galleys and Crew Galleys
For main galleys and crew galleys, locate toilet rooms inside the FOOD
PREPARATION AREA or in a passageway immediately outside the
area. If a main galley has multiple levels and there is stairwell access
between the galleys, toilet rooms may be located near the stairwell
within one deck above or below.

7.3.1.2 Other Food Service Outlets
For other FOOD SERVICE outlets (lido galley, specialty galley, etc.),
do not locate toilet rooms more than two decks above or below and
within the distance of a fire zone. Do not locate toilet rooms more than
one fire zone away if on the same deck (they should be within the same
fire zone or an adjacent fire zone). If more than one FOOD SERVICE
outlet is located on the same deck, the toilet room may be located on
the same deck between the outlets and within two fire zones of each
outlet.

7.3.1.3 Provision Areas
For preparation rooms in provision areas, use the distance requirement
described in 7.3.1.2 to locate toilet rooms.

7.3.2 Ventilation and Handwashing
Install exhaust ventilation and handwashing facilities in each toilet room. Air
hand dryers are not permitted in these toilet rooms. Install a permanent sign in
English, and other languages where appropriate, stating the exact wording:
