Conn. Agencies Regs. § 19-13-B53 - Water supplies and privies for field workers
(a)
Water shall be readily available to both shed and field workers in covered
containers with sanitary drinking fountains or with individual paper cups, in
accordance with section
19-13-B35.
(b) Water for drinking and handwashing shall
be obtained from a public water supply or from a properly protected and located
ground water supply approved by the local director of health.
(c) No common drinking cup shall be
permitted.
(d) Handwashing
facilities shall be available for shed and field workers.
(e) Water containers shall be cleaned daily.
At the start of the season and at other times when necessary, water barrels or
other water containers shall be disinfected with steam or chlorine. The plug
for filling the hole shall be kept tightly in place except during the time for
filling. (It is desirable to chain the plug to the barrel to avoid losing
it.)
(f) A sanitary method of
filling water barrels shall be provided. Overhead hoses shall be short enough
so that they will swing clear of ground surface. Flange guards should be
provided for the hose so that it will not enter more than four inches into
water barrels.
(g) Portable or
permanent privies shall be provided in adequate numbers and shall be readily
accessible to all workers.
(h)
Separate privies shall be provided for men and women and shall be so arranged
as to secure privacy for both sexes and shall be clearly marked "Men" and
"Women" at the entrance to each. These words shall be printed or painted on
signs not less than six by eighteen inches.
(i) Privies shall be provided with inside
hook and eye latches and toilet tissue.
(j) Privies shall be located at least one
hundred feet from kitchen and dining rooms, living quarters or source of water
supply.
(k) Privies shall be of fly
and vermin-proof construction and shall consist of a pit at least three feet
deep and constructed so as to exclude surface water. Cracks shall be battened
and openings shall be screened with sixteen mesh wire screening. The door shall
be well fitted to exclude flies and shall close automatically by means of a
spring or spring hinges. Seat covers shall be hinged and shall be so
constructed that they drop automatically into place when the seat is not
occupied.
(l) Privies shall be
adequately lighted and ventilated.
(m) No privy pit shall be filled with excreta
to nearer than one foot from the surface of the ground. When this occurs,
privies shall be moved or vaults cleaned out. The hole shall be filled up when
privies are moved. Material removed from the privy or vaults or containers
shall be disposed of by burial in such a manner as not to create a
nuisance.
(n) Privies shall be
maintained in clean condition and such maintenance shall include daily washing
of seats with a disinfectant solution. (Use of earth, ashes or lime in the pits
will help to keep down odors.)
