Portable Toilet Rentals: What Every Contractor Needs to Know
Proper sanitation is not just a convenience on construction sites—it's a legal requirement. Here's everything you need to know about portable toilet rentals for your next project.
WorkSafeBC Requirements
WorkSafeBC regulations require employers to provide adequate toilet facilities for workers. The general guidelines are:
- 1 toilet per 10 workers for crews up to 20
- Additional units for larger crews
- Separate facilities may be required for co-ed job sites
- Hand washing facilities must be provided
Failure to comply can result in fines and work stoppages.
How Many Toilets Do You Need?
Here's a quick reference guide:
| Workers on Site | Recommended Units |
|---|---|
| 1-10 | 1 |
| 11-20 | 2 |
| 21-30 | 3 |
| 31-40 | 4 |
| 40+ | 1 per additional 10 |
For special events, the ratio is typically 1 unit per 50-100 guests, depending on event duration and alcohol service.
Servicing Schedule
Regular servicing keeps your portable toilets clean and functional. Our standard servicing includes:
- Pumping the waste tank
- Cleaning the interior surfaces
- Restocking toilet paper and hand sanitizer
- Deodorizing the unit
For most construction sites, weekly servicing is sufficient. High-traffic sites or events may require more frequent service.
Placement Considerations
When placing portable toilets on your site:
- Level ground is essential for proper function
- Accessible location for servicing trucks
- Convenient for workers but not in high-traffic work areas
- Away from eating areas for hygiene reasons
- Consider wind direction from the main work area
