These rooms shall be distinctly marked "Men" and "Women" by signs printed in English and in the native language of the persons occupying the camp. If the facilities for each sex are in the same building, they shall be separated by a solid wall or partition extending from the floor to the roof or ceiling. All group toilet rooms in migrant labor camps and residential migrant housing shall be constructed with privacy partitions between each water closet to block the occupants from view.

Except as provided elsewhere in this rule, there must be at least one laundry facility provided at each migrant labor camp and residential migrant housing establishment. In the event the laundry facility is not located on the premises of residential migrant housing establishments, the owner or operator of the residential migrant housing must either install a laundry facility on the premises or provide transportation to the laundry facility for the migrant or seasonal farmworkers occupying the permitted residential migrant housing. The owner or operator must provide transportation to the laundry facility at least twice a week for the migrant or seasonal farmworkers.

(8) A separate laundry basket shall be provided by the owner or operator for farmworkers to separate the workers' soiled clothing worn in the fields from other clothing worn in the home.

The owners and operators shall obtain a copy of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's mini booklet entitled "Steps to Protect Yourself from Pesticides, " at http://www.cdc.gov/nasd/docs/d000701-d000800/d000732/d000732.html, or from the county health department to distribute to the migrant and seasonal farmworkers. The booklet contains educational material in Spanish, English and Haitian Creole, explaining the precautionary measures that must be taken to prevent pesticide poisoning in the home as well as explaining the importance of separating soiled field clothing from other clothing worn in the home. The booklets provided must be in the native language of the migrant and seasonal farmworkers. The owners or operators shall obtain a list of contact information for the migrant and seasonal farmworkers directing them where to seek medical attention and where to report a poisoning incident. The list shall be displayed in a conspicuous place in a common area in the migrant labor camp or residential migrant housing units for the health official to view during the inspections.
