The addition of construction site toilets often plays an important role at job sites. These units ensure sanitary needs are met and help to maintain employee productivity. However, some factors are not always clear and could put your workers at risk or decrease their output. Avoid any complications with your rental by keeping these factors in mind.

What to Think About When Renting Construction Site Toilets?

1. Accessibility

All construction sites, even those that are hard to access, benefit from having portable toilets available. Having one or more prevents employees from needing to figure out other sanitary options or continuously leaving the site. On a small project, you might get by with just one or two toilets, but on a larger, more expansive site, you'll want to make sure there are enough toilets situated around the site that workers can easily reach no matter the terrain in their area.

2. Placement

In addition to having easy access, you also want to make sure the toilets are placed in a safe location. Generally, stay away from roads and driveways, heavy machinery, and areas that aren't well-lit. Also, clear and level the site so the toilets can be properly installed, and consider using safety fences and barriers to secure them to the spot and offer more privacy.  

3. Number

To determine how many construction site toilets to rent, you need to know the size of the site, expected length of workdays, and number of workers. Typically, you'll need one porta-potty for every 10 workers during a 40-hour workweek. However, if you’re operating on multiple levels or have workers that are largely spread out, think about increasing this amount so people can get in and out quickly.
