PERSONNEL REQUIREMENTS

INTRODUCTION:

The planning of personnel requirements includes planning for employee parking,locker rooms,
restrooms, food services, drinking fountains, and health services,philosophies relating to personnel:

"Our firm is responsible for our employees from the moment they leave their home until they return. We
must provide adequate methods of getting to and from work."

"Employees should earn their parking locations; all spaces should be assigned to specific individual's."

"Employees spend one third of their life within our facility; we must help them enjoy working here."

"A happy worker is a productive worker."

"A hot lunch makes a worker more productive since it supplies them energy.

"Workers ho do not feel well are unsafe workers; we should provide medical care to maintain health."

Our company has an obligation to our personnel; we will make all our facilities ADA compliant."

"Except for individuals in private offices, no one is allowed to smoke in our building."

"Our employees work hard; the least we can do is provide a place for them to unwind after a hard day's
work. Employees who play together will work better together".

"Personnel considerations are of little importance in our facility. We pay people to work, not to have a
good time

THE EMPLOYEE-FACILITY INTERFACE

The interface functions as a storage area for personal property of the employee dur-

ing work hours. Personal property typically includes the automobile and the employee's personal
belongings, such as coats, clothes, purses, and lunches.

Employee Parking

Planning employee parking areas is very similar to planning stores or warehouse areas. The procedure to
be followed is:

Determine the number of automobiles to be parked.

Determine the space required for each automobile

Determine the available space for parking8

Determine alternative parking layouts for alternative parking patterns.

Select the layout that best utilizes space and maximizes employee convenience.

Parking Space Dimensions. The minimum size of a standard parking space shall be nine feet wide and
eighteen feet long. Parking spaces within enclosed garages shall have an interior dimension of at least
ten feet wide and twenty feet long. The minimum size of a compact parking space shall be eight feet
wide and sixteen feet long.(PW=SW/sine)

Storage of Employees' Personal Belongings

A location for storage of employee personal belongings should be provided between the employee
entrance and work area. Employees typically store lunches, briefcases, and purses at their place of work.
Employees who are not required to change their clothes and who work in an environment where toxic
substances do not exist need only to be provided with a coat rack. Employees who either change their
clothes or work where toxic substances are present should be provided with lockers. The lockers may be
located in a corridor adjacent to the employee entrance if clothes changing does not take place. More
commonly, locker rooms are provided for each sex even if clothes changing is not required. Each
employee should be assigned a locker.

RESTROOMS

A restroom should be located within 200 ft of every pemanent workstation.Decentralized restrooms

often provide greater employee convenience than large, centralized restrooms. Mezzanine restrooms are
common in production facilities as they maybe located where employees are centered without
occupying valuable floor space. However, access to restrooms must be available to handicapped
employees. Hence, some restrooms must be at ground level. In any event, the location shouldcomply
with local zoning regulations.Unless restrooms are designed for single occupancy, separate restrooms
should be provided for each sex.

In restrooms for males, a urinal may be substituted for a toilet, provided that the number of toilets is not
reduced to less than two-thirds the minimum recommended.

For space planning purposes, 12.5 ft (2.5'x5) or 15 ft (3x5) should be allowed for each toilet, and 6 ft for
each urinal. Toilets
and urinals must be designed to accommodate wheelchairs for handicapped employees as well.

Sinks and Restrooms

A sample restroom layout showing typical minimum clearances is shown In Figure 4.6 (taken from 1). In
the sample layout there are four 2.5 X 5' toilets, one 3x5 shower stall, seven sinks, and three urinals.
Using 6 ft per sink and per urinal, and 15 ft for the entrance, the space requirement without aisles and
other clearances comes to (4x 12.5) + 15 + 42 +18 + 15 =140 ft. The total floor space required for the
restroom, however, is approximately 16.5' x 11.5' 190 ft.
