Job sites follow OSHA. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 requires 1 unit for up to 20 workers, then 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers from 20 to 199 workers, and 1 per 50 workers at 200 or more. Hand washing has to be available where the work involves contaminants.
Job sites are counted by peak crew, not by project headcount. A Carlsbad site running 60 workers during framing and 12 during fit out needs provision sized for 60 while that phase lasts.
A service visit pumps the tank, washes the interior, restocks the paper and adds fresh deodoriser. Weekly covers roughly 100 uses, which is about 10 workers across a five day week.
What should you plan for in Carlsbad?
Set units on firm, level ground in Carlsbad. Soft or sloping ground lets a unit settle or tip, and a gravel pad or a sheet of plywood under the base solves it cheaply.
The access rule is simple and worth designing around: within about 25 feet of where the truck can stop. Courtyards and rear lots on Carlsbad sites frequently fail it.
Order enough standard units and the ADA unit stays available for the people who need it. Accessible units get used by everyone when the queue at the standard units is long, which is a capacity problem rather than a signage one.
Event pricing in Carlsbad is per unit per day and includes delivery and collection. Job site pricing is monthly, which is why the cost per day is so much lower.
