Portuguese term or phrase: É de responsabilidade da rouparia
Confesso que a construção que penso para esta frase em inglês está doendo o meu ouvido. Gostaria da ajuda de vocês a esse respeito. O contexto todo é:
"É responsabilidade da rouparia a reposição das toucas descartáveis no vestiário, ....".
Não gostei de "It's responsibility of the linen-room, deve ter uma forma melhor e não estou conseguindo pensar agora.
MTIA.

Dressing room personnel are responsible for...
Explanation:
'Dressing room' just came to me as another possibility, but 'linen room' seems OK, too. I like the idea of adding 'personnel'.

neutral  Emma Cox: I don't disagree with the "is responsible for" part, but I'm not sure about linen room. I think this should be something like facilities management or laundry or something. You don't really get linen rooms near the entrance to production areas ;-)

agree  Sheryle Oliver: The complete sentence might read /The dressing room personnel are responsible for replacing the disposable caps. /Linen room/ wouldn't work because linens are bedding, not clothing.

  -> Thanks, Sheryle!
neutral  Emma Cox: I know what you mean Muriel, but there are usually no "personnel" in these rooms specifically for this role. We need to find out which department is responsible for this.
4 hrs
  -> Hmmm. The work has to be done by someone; it doesn't happen by itself.

Restocking disposable caps in the changing room is the responsibility of facilities management


Explanation:
BUT I would check this with your client.
I'm sorry, but I have seen these areas at work, and there is no such thing as "dressing room personnel", or linen cupboards in changing rooms for production areas.
It would be perfectly reasonable to highlight this sentence to your client as a query to find out the exact term for the team responsible for replacing these items.
Please also note that all the protective clothing for clean areas is disposable and for single use only, so restocking or replacing is acceptable here.
If you can hold on until later today, I can check with an ex colleague of mine who still works for my old employer.
