We have a problem with drug abusers coming onto the premesis and using the 
public toilets to inject drugs. It was commented that putting a UV light in the 
cubicle could reduce the ability to see veins.
The risk of contaminated needlestick injury to staff cleaning the toilets is 
very high and we want to reduce it. Is this possible?
