Overall location of the cafeteria
Thread Content
The new plant is being constructed; it covers a large area. The overall layout is divided into three main sections: the equipment area (including the tank farm), the area in front of the plant (including the control room, fire station, 11KV substation, etc.), and the residential area (including the company headquarters, sales department, employee dormitories, and expert housing). The factory cafeteria is located in the residential area. This area is more than 800 meters away from the area in front of the plant, and over 1500 meters away from the equipment area. Although the cafeteria can deliver meals to the production areas during manufacturing in the future, the overall layout of the cafeteria seems awkward; the time spent eating plus the time needed to travel back and forth takes up all of the lunch break time.
Do you want to take a bite of rice and inhale some toxic fumes?
Here, it’s a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils; there are specific requirements regarding the location of living areas, with an effort to avoid contamination of those areas by the work area. On the condition that regulatory requirements are met, it is reasonable to arrange things as scientifically as possible in order to reduce the time workers spend traveling back and forth for meals. But the prerequisite is still to meet the strict regulatory requirements.
How is that possible? Do all the workers in chemical plants breathe toxic gases? Or is breathing only done while eating?
The production area and the living area must be strictly separated; there must be no spaces for eating or resting in the production area, as required by regulations. Experts do not take humanization into consideration. Figure it out on your own. Also, the issue of drug use in the production area is a matter of internal management.
Question: Which regulation stipulates that there should be no dining or resting areas in the production area?
It is only stipulated that dormitories cannot be established in production sites (Article 102 of the Work Safety Law)； The place where meals are served should be fine; one needs to go to the ground floor to take a look. Back to the topic: Generally, a cafeteria is set up next to the factory’s administrative area; for those on shift who cannot leave their posts, meals are delivered to them at their work sites
The design institute said that we shouldn’t take these into consideration during the design phase.

The manager only schedules shifts for meals; people can adjust the time on their own.
