attention in 2022, symbolically shows that the safe and hygienic working environment of workers is not protected. The duty to install toilets is stipulated in the ‘Act on Public Toilets, Etc.,’ the ‘Construction Workers Act,’ and the ‘Installation and Operation Guide for Washrooms, Bath Facilities and Toilets at Workplaces,’ prepared by the Ministry of Employment and Labor in 2019. However, the convenience facilities that are mandated in the relevant regulations do not have size or area standards depending on the number of workers, so the number of toilets are insufficient for the number of workers and takes too long to use in many cases. In addition to facility problems, lack of manpower, labor intensity, and control over the use make it difficult for the workers to use the toilet. There are cases where even the time to use the bathroom is subjected to direct control (using for less than 5 minutes or 10 minutes every 2 hours, etc.), and some workers cannot leave the workplace because he/she is working alone. Workers working in such conditions are in a situation where even the minimum autonomy is violated, such as limiting the amount of water intake, etc.620) Discrimination between workers and subcontractors is also a cause of problems. In addition to the cases discussed above, in the case of female workers, even if there is no direct restriction, there are cases where only toilets without gender distinction are available to make it difficult to use the toilet. The problem with the use of the bathroom can act as discrimination between people in the same space and is also a result of the discriminatory working environment.
