Preparing for workplace requirements in Manitoba

Workplace expectations around washroom access are evolving.

As part of updates tied to Manitoba’s Workplace Safety and Health framework, employers will be expected to provide access to menstrual products, with implementation expected later this year.

Many workplaces are still working through what this looks like in practice and how to implement it in a way that’s consistent and manageable.

While the requirement itself is straightforward, managing it day-to-day can look a bit different across facilities.

It may involve decisions around placement, keeping supplies stocked, and maintaining a clean, consistent setup across spaces. Over time, it becomes another process to monitor alongside everything else already in place.

As this requirement takes shape, some workplaces may manage it internally, while others may look to integrate it into their existing services.

• Managing it in-house often means assigning responsibility, keeping supply levels consistent, and addressing upkeep over time.

• We’re developing options that would allow this to be supplied, maintained, and managed as part of your regular service schedule, so it fits into what’s already working.

We’re currently finalizing solutions designed specifically for workplace environments, with a focus on consistency, discretion, and ease of service.

More details will be shared soon.

If this is something you’re beginning to think about, now is a good time to stay connected.
