Article R4534-140 of the French Labour Code

When the facilities provided for in article R. 4534-139 are not suited to the nature of the work site, specially equipped work vehicles may be used to enable workers to ensure their personal cleanliness, and to have access to toilets, changing rooms and, if possible, showers sheltered from the weather.
The use of a basement room is exceptional and will only be tolerated if it can be kept in a constant state of cleanliness, ventilated and adequately lit.

Article R4534-140


Lorsque les installations prévues à l’article R. 4534-139 ne sont pas adaptées à la nature du chantier, des véhicules de chantier spécialement aménagés à cet effet peuvent être utilisés pour permettre aux travailleurs d’assurer leur propreté individuelle, de disposer de cabinets d’aisances, de vestiaires et, si possible, de douches à l’abri des intempéries.
L’utilisation d’un local en sous-sol est exceptionnelle et n’est tolérée que s’il est possible de le tenir en état constant de propreté, de l’aérer et de l’éclairer convenablement.
