All sizes of construction sites need to have quality toilets and sanitation areas to keep the area clean and healthy. While thinking about a portable toilet isn’t fun for everyone, it is essential for the safety and efficiency of your construction site, event, or remodel. Having more than one portable toilet can enhance the construction site even further, allowing your team a modern luxury we often take for granted. Our team offers portable toilet rentals that are affordable, clean, and durable so that all construction projects can have peace of mind. Let’s dive deeper into why one toilet isn’t enough for a common construction site.
The Importance Of Sanitation Facilities
We all know that clean hands are essential for slowing the spread of germs, especially after using the bathroom. Washing and sanitizing hands is important on a construction site or in a workplace because many people are touching the same objects. When you rent from Canyon View Dumpsters, our portable toilets come with a detached sanitation station that has multiple faucets, allowing more than one worker to sanitize at a time. This can limit the downtime it takes for workers to use the restroom and limit the annoyance of waiting, leading to skipped hand washing. Keeping your construction site clean and safe for all working there can help you avoid liability disputes, sick workers, and legal cases.
Having More Than One Portable Toilet Saves Time
Depending on the layout of a construction site, the size of a building team, and the projected timeline of a construction project, you may find that workers are constantly leaving the area to use the facilities. While we all need them and can’t deny our bodies’ timing, construction sites can lose precious time needed to keep a project on schedule. Traveling away from the site to use the restroom can equate to anywhere from 3-10 minutes just to use the restroom. When you have multiple people taking this time out of their workday, you could lose multiple hours of quality work time.
It is important to have multiple portable toilet stations to ensure that no matter where workers are positioned that day, they have quick and easy access to the facilities. Not only does this reduce downtime, but it helps improve the comfort and productivity of your construction team. More than one portable toilet allows multiple people to use the facilities at any given time as well, limiting the need for lines and long wait times. This gives workers more time for their tasks, boosting the overall efficiency of a job site.
Enhancing Employee Satisfaction
Walking or driving miles to a bathroom is exhausting and may lead to organ damage if a person avoids going to the restroom for too long. There may not be ways to protect your workers from harsh conditions, but there are ways you can make them feel more comfortable and safe while working. Having multiple portable toilet areas, with more than one portable toilet, and sanitizing stations, will prevent workers from worrying about when to use the facilities, or what may happen during an emergency.
Having more than one portable toilet spread across a work area also means that none of your team is stuck working near the dreaded bathroom area. After multiple days of use, portable toilets can begin to stink, making it uncomfortable to work near them. However, placing them farther away from the worksite and having multiple options may reduce the use of one specific porta-potty, limiting odors for those working nearby.
Compliance With OSHA Guidelines
A construction site needs to comply with local OSHA requirements in order to be clean and productive. Based on the number of employees you have, multiple portable toilets will be needed to meet these requirements. For example, for a job site with 20 workers, the minimum is one portable toilet, but with a larger workforce of up to 200 people, a portable toilet is required for every 50 workers (or 4 toilets for 200 workers). Even if your construction team may not all be present at one time, you are required to have the minimum number of toilets for when all may be present.
