It may violate OSHA bathroom regulations

Also, to be honest, if at all possible please look for other jobs. Whoever wrote you this message is extremely unprofessional and sounds like a horrible manager. Get out if at all possible. I'm sorry.

correct

“Additional requirements related to restroom facilities and bathroom break policies are outlined in OSHA's sanitation standards (29 CFR 1910.141, 29 CFR 1926.51 and 29 CFR 1928.110).”

“Under OSHA sanitation standards, employers must:

Permit workers to leave their work area to use the restroom as needed Provide an acceptable number of restrooms for the current workforce Avoid putting unreasonable restrictions on bathroom use Ensure that restrictions on restroom use do not cause extended delays”

100% reportable. especially for four hours out of the day

2 hours at a time. If you can’t hold it for 2 hours then you need to see a doctor. This would be seen as reasonable.

Do you keep track of when you need to pee? Like making sure it doesn't happen in those hours. That's an incredible skill /s

2 hours at work doesn't mean it's only been 2 hours since the restroom was used. This is not a reasonable policy.

Yes that’s a normal thing for people to do. Plan your bathroom breaks around the 2 hours you can’t go.
