Theres only men work at my workplace (building retail), theres 8 of us working a rota.
I'm Assistant Manager, ive only worked there 6 months, The Manager has just taken on a woman and left me to deal with it as hes on holiday when she is due to start.
Dont get me wrong, i'm more than happy to work with a woman but i am a little concerned as the job entails a lot of heavy lifting and physical work and though i have never seen this woman i'm told shes about 5ft tall and frail looking. Also we only have one toilet with two cubicles.
Whats the law situation with that? must women have their own separate toilet facilities or can she share our cubicles or have one for herself?
Im just confused by it all and cant understand why its been left to me, i feel in a no-win situation, i dont want to seem sexist by making allowances for her, but at the same time i was brought up with old fashioned values, i open doors and give my seat up for ladies, it will be hard to ask her to shift bricks.
