Portable Sanitation Requirements on a Job Site

The rule of thumb for job site portable sanitation requirements is 1 portable toilet per 10 workers, per work week with servicing on a once a week basis.  There are a few variables that have an impact on the exact number of units you need for the  job site location.  The number of hours worked, usage by male vs female workers, and climate changes all have an effect. Lastly, of course, everyone’s favorite resource – job site sanitation requirements according to OSHA.
