Portable restroom and sanitation equipment rentals are a must-have for any construction site. Whether you’re building a new home, renovating an existing one, or undertaking some other large-scale construction project, you’ll need to make sure that your workers have access to clean bathrooms. OSHA requires employers to provide all workers with sanitary and easily accessible toilet facilities. Keep in mind that restroom access needs may vary from worker to worker, and may be affected by medications, fluid intake, air temperature and other factors.

OSHA regulations state that there must be at least one portable toilet per 10 people using it at any given time during construction activities onsite; however, there can be more than one toilet per 10 people if necessary (such as when there are days without rain but lots of traffic on site). In general, it is required that one toilet and one urinal be provided for every 25 workers, or 20 workers if the employer provides an additional toilet facility for women. However, this applies only to the areas where there are no permanent toilets available. In situations where permanent toilets are available in other parts of the facility, these requirements do not apply.
It goes without saying that a sanitary and healthy workplace promotes productivity in the workplace and ensures the health and welfare of workers. Some best practices that you can use for guidance when renting portable restrooms for a construction site are:
