Dear All
Before I go argue my point, I would like confirmation from my IPC experts
re: above.
Is there ever a need to empty the contents (faeces) in a pan into a toilet
BEFORE putting it into a pan flusher for sanitising?
Thank you for your time in answering my question.

Actually, I would suggest it depends on the pan flusher / sanitiser used, and the ability of the waste stream to manage soiling. Not necessarily one size fits all. Check with the pan flusher/sanitiser manufacturer and with your local maintenance/engineering team to ensure this will not cause problems. Those facilities using local septic systems may-have more problematic scenarios around this.
Cheers
