Ontario Washroom Cleaning Records in 2026: What Employers and Constructors Must Keep

Keep worker washroom facilities clean and sanitary, then document each cleaning consistently instead of relying on an informal schedule

Make a record of the date and time of the two most recent washroom cleanings available in or near the washroom, or electronically where workers can access it with clear instructions

Use a simple, durable log that identifies the washroom location and leaves room for the cleaner or service provider to record each completed cleaning

Review the record after every service so the two most recent entries stay current and are easy for workers and inspectors to find

For construction projects, constructors must also keep a servicing record at the project that includes cleaning and sanitizing dates for the previous six months or for the duration of the project, whichever is shorter

Include washroom cleanliness and record availability in your routine workplace inspections so issues are corrected before they become complaints or inspection findings

Brief supervisors, cleaners, and site coordinators on who updates the record, where it is kept, and how workers can access it — ownership prevents gaps
