OFFICE AND SHOP PREMISES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1966 - SECT 11

Supply of drinking water.

11.(1) There shall, in the case of premises to which this Act applies, be
provided and maintained, at suitable places conveniently accessible to the
persons employed to work in the premises, an adequate supply of wholesome
drinking water.

(2) Where a supply of water provided at a place in pursuance of subsection (1)
is not piped, it must be contained in suitable vessels and must be renewed at
least daily; and all practicable steps must be taken to preserve it and the
vessels in which it is contained from contamination.

(3) Where water a supply of which is provided in pursuance of this section is
delivered otherwise than in a jet from which persons can conveniently drink,
there shall either

(a)be provided, and be renewed so often as occasion requires, a supply of
drinking vessels of a kind designed to be discarded after use; or

(b)be provided a sufficient number of drinking vessels of a kind other than as
aforesaid, together with facilities for rinsing them in clean water.

(4) Subsection (1) shall be deemed to be complied with in relation to any
premises as regards any period during which there are in operation
arrangements for enabling the persons employed to work in the premises to
avail themselves of a supply of drinking water provided and maintained for the
use of others, being a supply whose provision and maintenance would have
constituted compliance with that subsection had it been provided and
maintained for the use of the first-mentioned persons, and

(a)where the supply provided is not piped, the requirements of subsection (2)
are satisfied as respects it and the vessels in which it is contained; and

(b)where the water supplied is delivered as mentioned in subsection (3), the
requirements of that subsection are satisfied.
