Avoid Fines, Protect Your Crew, and Stay OSHA-Compliant
On remote construction sites, utility projects, or agricultural fields, providing proper sanitation often gets overlooked—until someone files a complaint or an inspector shows up. But in today’s regulatory and labor environment, portable sanitation trailers aren’t a luxury—they’re a requirement.
If your jobsite lacks access to sewer lines or permanent restrooms, this guide will help you stay compliant, avoid fines, and keep your team healthy and productive.
🚽 OSHA & EPA Requirements You Can’t Ignore
According to OSHA 1926.51(c), employers must provide “adequate and readily accessible sanitation facilities”. That includes:
- 1 toilet seat per 20 workers
- Sanitary disposal of waste
- Handwashing stations or sanitizers
- Routine servicing to keep units clean
⚠️ Failure to comply can result in daily fines and project shutdowns.
🚛 Why Trailers Are Better Than Standard Porta Potties
1. Towable & Repositionable
You can move restroom trailers as your site phases change—keeping them close to work zones.
2. Ventilation & Comfort
Modern units come with translucent tops, anti-odor vents, and optional climate control.
3. Easy to Service
Vendors can access trailers quickly for weekly pump-outs, supply restocks, and maintenance.
4. Combo Options Available
Add handwash stations, urinals, or even small sink units for food-safe or agricultural use.
