What is checked in the lavatory during safety checks?

During safety checks of the lavatory, the focus is primarily on ensuring that no unauthorized items are present and that all systems are functioning correctly. This is critical for both safety and hygiene. Unauthorized items, which can include anything from personal belongings to hazardous materials, could pose a risk to passengers and crew.

Additionally, functional systems in the lavatory — such as handwashing stations, waste disposal, and emergency equipment (like smoke detectors or alarms) — must be operational to ensure the safety of passengers and adhere to safety regulations. This vigilance helps in maintaining a safe environment onboard and prevents potential emergencies from arising due to neglected safety features in the lavatory area.
