 Squat toilet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One common toilet injury in India is achilles tendon rupture, in which a person accidentally keeps the foot in the basin and the heel slides into the hole, resulting in abnormal bending of foot(dorsiflexion) and this results in the rupture of the achilles tendon.
Squat toilets can be a shock to people used to sit-down toilets, and may be difficult to use for the unwary, especially if on trains or ships.
In India too such a toilet is widely used and is referred to as the Indian water closet or IWC in contrast with the European water closet or EWC or the Western (or "Roman") style of toilet.

At the time of his alleged injury, Combs was in the process of fabricating two stainless steel templates for the bottom of a porcelain toilet which was to be installed in a passenger railroad car.

 Bowel Management
Spinal cord injury (SCI) affects all of the things that are learned in toilet training, i.e., the ability to know when a bowel movement is about to occur (sensation) and the ability to prevent a bowel movement (BM) from occuring until the time and place appropriate (motor control of the rectal sphincter).
The goal of a bowel program is to have regular bowel movements at a predictable time and frequency with a minimum of "accidents." This is not the same as "bowel control" and there is always the potential for accidents, especially when diarrhea occurs.
Individuals should watch carefully for subtle messages from the body which might precede an "accident" or indicate that a "bowel program" is needed, such as, sweating, "goose bumps," a sense of fullness in the lower abdomen, a general feeling of restlessness.

 EPA: Federal Register: Pesticide Worker Protection Standard; Decontamination Requirements
Second, the availability of decontamination supplies allows workers to engage in routine washing which has been demonstrated to reduce pesticide exposure (i.e., washing off hands before using the toilet, smoking or eating) and which is taught as part of the WPS training program required for all workers before they may enter any pesticide-treated areas.
Prompt action may dramatically reduce further exposure and can prevent or mitigate illness or injury.
Retaining decontamination requirements for a period of 30 days after the expiration of an REI for pesticides other than the low toxicity pesticides lessens the chances that workers will be harmed by pesticide residues and decreases their chronic exposures to pesticides.
