A construction site toilet is a standard unit placed within a short walk of where crews work. Federal rules count toilets by headcount, from one facility for 20 or fewer workers upward. The count, the walk and the ground decide what is set and where.
Construction toilets are the units placed on a job site so crews have a toilet within a reasonable walk of where they work. They are usually standard cabins, counted against federal rules that set toilets by headcount. On a Jacksonville job, the count, the walk and the ground decide what is set and where.
Calls are answered 24/7. Call (888) 351-0294 with the crew size, the length of the job and the site address or the closest cross street. The provider uses those numbers to plan the count and the servicing. Nothing on this page promises an arrival time, and the delivery date is confirmed on the call.
The federal table is the starting point. It sets the count by headcount: one facility for 20 or fewer workers, and a seat and urinal count that rises with the crew. OSHA's interpretation letters add how a count is judged on a real site. The construction requirements guide quotes the rules in full, and this page explains how a crew uses them day to day.
Jacksonville's job sites run through summer heat and the storm season. The 1991 to 2020 normal July average high is 91.9 degrees Fahrenheit, and units standing in full sun on a cleared lot are a common problem. A plan that counts the heat is better than one that counts the crew alone.
Do not climb on, rock or move a set unit, and do not stand one on a slope or at the edge of a trench. Keep heavy equipment and trucks at a safe distance. Do not pour wastewater or chemicals on the site. If a unit is damaged, leaking or cannot be locked, keep workers away from it and report it to the crew.
Start with the number of workers on site at one time, not the total on the payroll. The OSHA table is written by headcount, and a crew that splits across shifts can change the count. Write the number down with the shift pattern, and the provider plans the count from it. The number to call is (888) 351-0294.
Each unit has to be reachable within a short walk from where crews work. OSHA's interpretation letters use a ten-minute test as the starting point for whether a toilet is provided. Walk the site and place units at the edge of the work area on a firm route, not only where a truck reaches them easily.
A truck has to reach the spot, and the unit has to stand on firm, level ground. Construction sites are churned up quickly, so units go on pads or the firmest ground available and are kept clear of heavy equipment. The crew checks the access route again after each change to the site.
The servicing schedule is set by crew size and heat. OSHA's interpretation letters say a toilet in an unsanitary condition does not count toward the minimum, so the schedule has to keep units usable, not merely present. A unit that has not been serviced in the heat of a long day is the one the crew checks first.
Ask the provider to keep a count of units on site, the service dates and the pickups. When the crew changes size, tell the provider before the next visit, so the site does not fall below the count the table requires.
The table sets the count by workers on site. For 20 or fewer workers, one facility. For 20 or more, one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers. For 200 or more, one toilet seat and one urinal per 50 workers.
The table is quoted as written. Its rows overlap at 20, so it is not a simple ratio, and the row that matches the crew is the one to read. A crew of 20 or fewer sits in the first row, and a crew of 200 or more moves to the one-per-50 row.
Under temporary field conditions, the standard also requires that provision be made to assure that not less than one toilet facility is available. That is the floor a site must meet whatever the headcount, and the count is built up from it.
OSHA's interpretation letters use less than ten minutes to reach a toilet as the starting point for judging whether toilets are provided.
The letters present the ten-minute test as the starting point, not as a complete test. A site where workers walk farther than that is unlikely to be treated as providing toilets, and the crew should plan the placement with the walk in mind from the start.
The walk is measured from where the crew actually works, along the route they actually use. A unit that is close to the gate but far from the work does not pass the test in practice, however many units are on the site.
No. A toilet in an unsanitary condition does not count toward the minimum under OSHA's interpretation letters, so the crew checks each unit on every visit.
A unit that is full, unlit, unlocked or out of order is not a toilet the site can count. A broken unit is removed or repaired, and the count is checked again that day so the site stays above the table's minimum.
Keep a note of any unit that is taken out of service, and ask the provider to replace it as soon as the crew can. A site that runs on a short count for even a day can be found out of compliance, so the count is kept under review.
Crew size and shifts, the number of units, the length of the job, distance and access, the servicing schedule and the heat. No figure is given, and the price is explained and approved before work starts.
The count of units is the first driver, because it follows the crew and the table. The job's length is the second, since a longer job means more servicing visits. Shifts can raise the count and the visit frequency, and a site that moves its units between phases adds the cost of each move.
This site publishes no price and no range. The provider sets out the count, the moves and the servicing schedule, explains what moves the quote and waits for your approval before the first unit is delivered.
The servicing company does, under Florida's rule 62-6.0101, which requires an annual operating permit for companies that service portable restrooms.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection administers the rule. The permit is held by the servicing company for the county where it has its office or yard, and staff working in other counties carry proof of the permit and of the vehicle inspection. Ask the crew for that proof when they arrive.
A permit for the job itself, if one is needed, is a question for the site owner and the local office. The servicing company's permit covers its own work, and the site owner should confirm any other requirement on the job.
A renovation or a small commercial job with a handful of workers needs one to three units, placed within a short walk of the work. The count is small enough that a single unit can be the whole plan, but the walk still has to be checked. The crew uses the unit on its route, not at the far corner of the lot.
A large project works in phases, and each phase has its own crew and its own walk. Units move with the phase, and the old spot is cleared before the new one is set. The downtown stadium rebuild is one of the largest sites in the city and has its own page: large project restrooms.
A site that runs more than one shift needs the count set by the largest number of workers on site at one time, and the units must be usable at the start and end of each shift. The servicing visits are timed to the shift changes, so a unit is not emptied in the middle of a shift that is using it.
Jacksonville has a large and spread-out set of job sites. The city is one consolidated city-county, so the same crew may move from downtown to the Westside and to the beaches in a single week. Each site has its own ground and its own walk, and the count is set by headcount, not by distance.
The downtown stadium rebuild is one of the largest sites in the city, and it has its own page. Smaller sites follow the same rule: count the crew, place each unit within a short walk and keep the route open. The planning is the same at a home renovation in Riverside or Avondale as it is on a large project, only the numbers change.
Heat and storms shape a job here. Summer work puts units in full sun, and Hurricane Irma in September 2017 pushed water through downtown, San Marco and Riverside before dawn. A unit on a job in those low areas is secured or moved before a storm, and cleanup crews often need units first after one.

Florida regulates portable restrooms under Florida Administrative Code rule 62-6.0101, enforced by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
The OSHA table counts by workers on site. For a crew of 20 or fewer, the table requires one facility. For larger crews, the count moves to the seat and urinal rows. The provider plans the count from the crew size and the shifts, and the table is quoted as written rather than reduced to one ratio.
Federal construction rules require washing facilities as part of the sanitation plan. A handwash station is a common way to meet that for crews working away from a building. The ratio of stations to toilets is set with the crew, not from this page.
Yes, where the owner agrees and the truck can reach the spot. Place units on firm ground within a short walk of the work area, and keep them out of the path of heavy equipment. The provider and the site manager agree the spot before delivery.
Tell the provider before the next visit. A larger crew can change the count under the table, and the schedule has to rise with it. The count is easier to adjust before the crew arrives than after an inspection.
OSHA's interpretation letters from 2005 and 2006 use whether a worker can reach a toilet in less than ten minutes as the starting point for judging whether toilets are provided. It is a starting point rather than a complete test, and the rest of the site must also work for the crew.
The servicing company holds the state operating permit under rule 62-6.0101 for the county where it has its office or yard. Ask the crew for proof of that permit and of the vehicle inspection. Any permit for the job itself is a question for the site owner and the local office.
