Popularity: 23% [?]
In Florida, this is regulated by OSHA, the federal worker safety agency.
OSHA’s CFR 1910.141 address restroom requirements for general industry. There are different requirements in some industries.
Generally, workers should have the option of locking the restroom when its in use. A restroom with a single toilet may have a door that locks from the inside. Where separate stalls are supplied in a larger restroom, the stalls must have doors that latch.
An employer can legally keep restrooms locked when not in use to prevent vandalism or for other reasons. However, when an employee makes a request to use the restroom, that request must be granted promptly.
