like a bear, i am happy to shit in the woods...personally i am not squeamish or embarrassed about my or others bodily functions - i have no requirement to Imagine a hedgerow menstruation - i have lived in some 'extreme' circumstances of necessity, and during the Pursuit of Archaeology...
However....happy though i have been to do this for Projects and Research that i personally value, and where i feel i have 'ownership'/'non-monetary gain', this is clealry very different from the Commercail Situation....I will fight very hard for legaly adequate Facilities and Equipment in any Commercial project, just as demands are made on us to conform to the standards of the Client and OHS.
Sometimes Managers have simply not costed or thought through properly the site (personal incompetence), sometimes they have cut corners to improve profit margins/win tenders (corporate misconduct)...
Managers who routinley defend indequate provison of facilities ("its only for a short time...cant you manage for a couple of days?...oh, haven't they arrived yet?-yes i meant to orgainse those loos last week...") are ultimatley a danger to the profession - if they can ignore this part of their responsibility, then what other responsibilities are they being paid for and not performing?
