When must employers provide washing, cleaning, and disinfecting agents to employees?
Employers must provide washing, cleaning, and disinfecting agents based on the extent of contamination to the skin and clothing.
For employees exposed to substances that may cause skin irritation or contamination, employers must provide washing and cleaning agents appropriate to the substance, as well as regenerative creams and ointments if necessary.
Types of work based on contamination levels and recommended amounts of washing and cleaning agents are listed in Annex No. 4 to Government Regulation No. 390/2021 Col. If washing or cleaning agents are permanently available in workplace sanitary facilities, Annex No. 4 does not apply to these agents; this exception does not include textile towels provided to employees performing very dirty or dirty work.
