Home » News » Inclusive Environments: Never Neglect Disabled Toilet Facilities

When planning an event, toilet facilities are always high on the agenda; however, it’s not uncommon for disabled toilet facilities to be forgotten or left as an afterthought. Quite often, those with additional needs are left in awkward positions when it’s extremely difficult or impossible for them to use typical portable toilets because disabled toilet facilities have not been provided. That doesn’t need to be the case anymore with disabled toilet hire. 

Portable disabled toilet hire is a service that allows individuals with disabilities to use the bathroom in circumstances that would otherwise be unable to accommodate their needs. Standard toilet hire usually requires you to step up inside the facility to use it. They can also be restrictive and boxy with little room to navigate around. So, portable toilets need to be adapted to be inclusive of people with disabilities.

Promoting An Inclusive Environment With Disabled Portable Toilets

You should always go beyond the legal requirements when hiring toilets to include all members of society. This means hiring portable toilets that people with disabilities can use comfortably. The government plans, by the end of 2023, to live in a world of diversity and inclusion, in everything we do at all levels of business, promoting representation of all. All members of society will feel the importance and benefits of this. 

One of the ways they plan to do this is by promoting their commitment to diversity and inclusion throughout the procurement process and in relationships with suppliers, which is something everyone can take direction from.

So How Can Loos 4 Hire Help Create An Inclusive Environment?

Here at Loos 4 Hire, we have an extensive array of portable toilets, so you can accommodate for everyone at your event. Our spacious disabled portable toilets are designed in line with the Equality Act 2010 and are essential for all events. We can provide users with enough space to manoeuvre with ease, allowing wheelchair users to complete a full turning circle. 

Our toilets are specifically designed to allow independent use by wheelchair users. With handrails for balance and easy operation, self-transfer between the wheelchair and the WC is easier and safer. The toilets themselves measure 1.6m x 1.6m with an entryway of 0.8m and an outwards opening door, ensuring there is enough space for everyone. 

Our disabled toilet hire even comes with a paper holder and a rotary latch, devised for easy operation. Ramps and wider doorways can be installed for easier access and all toilets are easily transportable and cost-effective as well.

At Loos 4 Hire, we believe it is important to lead by example and we don’t believe in people being discriminated against because of who they are. We are firm believers that all parties should be catered for in all circumstances and event organisers should be responsible for facilitating this and should deeply consider how accessible their events are. With Loos 4 Hire, you can provide toilets for everyone, no matter what their needs may be.

We provide disabled toilet hire services, as well as other event portable toilet hire solutions to Northampton, Leicester, Derby, and Nottingham.
