> OSHA rules require that workplace bathrooms remain clean and dry and a mop can slide right under partitions.

Well, that explains why so many public bathroom stalls in Europe are nice, private, fully-enclosed spaces and none in America are. Thanks, OSHA /s

With the downside that cleaning them is a bit more difficult (and expensive), since you have to pay more attention to the (lower) end of the partitions, as a cleaner. More effort, or possibly even another OSHA violation because the cleaners would have to bend more (but I'm sure they can use a mop on the sides too, or something). There's also the matter of time spent cleaning.

Yeah - why on earth do you need the mop/partition regulation?

Surely you just clean the stall when its empty, and open the door?
