Porta Potties
Standard job site units with weekly servicing—plan about 1 per 10 workers.

Flushing multi-stall trailers for client-facing sites, offices, and long builds.
Dumpsters
Roll-off containers for debris, cleanouts, and demo—scheduled with your sanitation drop.
Temporary Fencing
Perimeter security and access control for active builds.

Construction sanitation under 29 CFR 1926.51—minimum units, handwashing, access, and why weekly servicing matters for compliance.
For crews of 20 or fewer: 1 toilet. From 21–200 workers: 1 toilet plus 1 urinal per 40 workers. Above 200 workers: 1 toilet per 50 workers and 1 urinal per 100 workers.
Required counts are the legal OSHA minimum. For efficient operations—shorter lines, less downtime, and easier servicing—we recommend about 1 standard porta potty per 10 workers per week plus handwash stations (about 1 per 20 workers). Use both columns in the chart below when ordering.
Running water for handwashing is required when available. Hand sanitizer alone does not satisfy OSHA sanitation requirements—pair units with handwash stations on active job sites.
Facilities must be reachable within about 10 minutes of work areas. High-rise projects may need crane-hook or elevated placement—ground-floor units alone may not comply on upper floors.
A portion of portable restrooms on site should be ADA-accessible for workers and visitors. We supply ADA units with handrails and additional interior space.
OSHA does not count dirty or out-of-service toilets toward your minimum. Weekly pumping and cleaning keeps units in service and your site compliant.
Federal OSHA penalties increased in 2026. State plans such as Cal/OSHA continue tightening sanitation accessibility—plan adequate units before inspections or schedule delays.
Adequate sanitation supports worker health and productivity. Clean, serviced facilities help recruitment on tight labor markets for long-running projects.
OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 sets the legal minimum by crew size. Most sites order closer to our recommended count (about 1 unit per 10 workers plus handwash stations) to keep lines short and servicing simple. Dirty or out-of-service units do not count toward your minimum.
| Workers | OSHA minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 1 toilet | 1 toilet + 1 handwash station |
| 20 | 1 toilet | 2 toilets + 1 handwash station |
| 50 | 1 toilet, 1 urinal | 5 toilets + 3 handwash stations |
| 100 | 3 toilets, 2 urinals | 10 toilets + 5 handwash stations |

Construction crews, general contractors, and long-term job sites on weekly service.
“Reliable weekly service on our commercial build—units were there on day one and pumping never slipped.”
“We have used them on three job sites now. Invoicing is clear and Net 30 made AP simple.”
“Monthly rental on a six-month highway project. Extensions were easy and the crew handled tight access.”
“OSHA inspection passed with no sanitation flags—weekly service never missed a cycle on our 18-month build.”
“Bundled fencing, dumpsters, and potties on one PO. Superintendent only had one number to call.”
Unit counts, delivery timing, what a monthly rental includes, paperwork, and bundling. See the full construction FAQ.
Use the chart on this page for both numbers: Required is the OSHA minimum under 29 CFR 1926.51 (toilets and urinals by crew size). Recommended is our planning guideline for efficient operations—about 1 standard unit per 10 workers per week, plus handwash stations (about 1 per 20 workers). Add ADA units where required and extra units when work areas are spread out.
