Ontario’s Bill 190 was introduced with a clear objective: improve working conditions by ensuring employees have reliable access to functional washrooms.
This legislation isn’t about adding process or paperwork. It’s about visibility, accountability, and timely response - especially in environments where washrooms are shared, heavily used, or critical to employee wellbeing.
Guidance and enforcement stem from the Government of Ontario, placing responsibility on employers and operators to ensure washrooms are not only available, but actively managed.
Why Workforce Washroom Compliance Is an Operational Challenge
Traditional washroom management methods - manual logs, paper checklists, or periodic inspections - weren’t designed for real-time workforce needs.
They fall short because:
- Issues occur between inspections
- Employees lack clarity on availability or maintenance status
- Cleaning activity is difficult to verify or audit
- Response times are reactive, not proactive
Bill 190 raises expectations beyond “checked regularly” to demonstrably managed.
