Article R4228-2 of the French Labour Code

Collective changing rooms and washbasins must be installed in a special room with a suitable surface area, isolated from the work and storage rooms and located close to the workers’ passageways.

Where changing rooms and washbasins are installed in separate rooms, it must be possible to communicate between them without passing through the work or storage rooms and without going outside.

For workers who are not obliged to wear specific work clothes or personal protective equipment, the employer may provide them with a secure storage unit for their personal belongings, located near their workstation, instead of collective changing rooms.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R4228-2

Les vestiaires collectifs et les lavabos sont installés dans un local spécial de surface convenable, isolé des locaux de travail et de stockage et placé à proximité du passage des travailleurs.

Lorsque les vestiaires et les lavabos sont installés dans des locaux séparés, la communication entre ceux-ci doit pouvoir s’effectuer sans traverser les locaux de travail ou de stockage et sans passer par l’extérieur.

Pour les travailleurs qui ne sont pas obligés de porter des vêtements de travail spécifiques ou des équipements de protection individuelle, l’employeur peut mettre à leur disposition, en lieu et place de vestiaires collectifs, un meuble de rangement sécurisé, dédié à leurs effets personnels, placé à proximité de leur poste de travail.
