schaftvoorziening

Context:

Bouwplaatsinrichting
- bouwplaatsinrichtingsplan
In de keet aanwezig.
- keten en toebehoren
Op locatie is een afgeschermd ketenpark ingericht met voldoende schaft- en sanitaire voorzieningen.

I've found some references in google searches, but the context doesn't help me narrow down the meaning. Any ideas?
