37.111.328 TOILET FACILITIES
Operative Text
(1) Toilet facilities must be installed in accordance with the state plumbing code and must be conveniently located and accessible to employees at all times. (2) Toilet rooms must be completely enclosed and the doors must be kept closed when they open into the kitchen. Additionally, if toilet facilities open onto or are located adjacent to the food preparation area, the toilet facilities must contain mechanical ventilation or a window. (3) Toilet fixtures must be kept clean and in good repair. A supply of toilet tissue must be provided at each toilet at all times. Easily cleanable receptacles must be provided for waste materials.
Mont. Admin. R. 37.111.328 sets out requirements for toilet facilities in food-service establishments, covering installation, location, enclosure, ventilation, and cleanliness. Toilet rooms must be fully enclosed, kept closed when adjacent to kitchens, and mechanically ventilated or windowed when near food preparation areas. Fixtures, tissue supply, and waste receptacles must be maintained in clean, functional condition at all times.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of food-service establishments subject to Mont. Admin. R. 37.111.328 generally ensure that toilet rooms are fully enclosed, that doors remain closed when they open into kitchen areas, and that any facility adjacent to food preparation includes mechanical ventilation or a window. Compliant operators also maintain fixtures in good repair, keep toilet tissue stocked at every toilet, and provide easily cleanable waste receptacles. Routine self-inspections help confirm that these physical and supply requirements remain continuously met.
