Part of the Roch Dog Workplace Standard (RDWS-01) · Published by Roch Dog
An area where dogs do not belong, defined and kept genuinely separate: anywhere food is prepared or eaten, first-aid and medical rooms, quiet and prayer rooms, and any space a colleague who has opted out needs to use.
Separation must be real, not a sign on a door. Keeping dogs out of food-handling areas also follows food-hygiene law, which the standard restates as an outcome.
A dog-free zone that dogs can wander into, or that exists only on a floor plan, is not a dog-free zone. The test is whether the colleague who needs it can rely on it.
