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.
Where the public attends, add at least one ADA accessible unit regardless of the total. The 2010 ADA Standards set the dimensions, and the cost difference on a single unit is small.
Review the schedule when the site changes. A San Jose project that needed twice weekly during framing rarely needs it through a fit out with a third of the crew.
What should you plan for in San Jose?
Set units on firm, level ground in San Jose. 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.
Allow about 5 by 5 feet per unit once the door swing is counted, and make sure the service vehicle can pull within roughly 25 feet. That access distance decides most placements on a tight San Jose site.
If the public can attend your San Jose event, the accessible route matters as much as the accessible unit. A compliant unit at the end of a gravel path is not usable.
Units arrive from the yard cleaned, restocked and deodorised, so the first use is on a fresh unit. On a San Jose event that is the detail guests actually notice.

San Jose porta potty questions
What happens if a unit is not serviced on schedule?
Call the provider. If the truck could not reach the unit, the visit normally still counts as billed, so keeping the approach clear on service days matters.
How much space does a unit need?
A standard unit occupies roughly 4 by 4 feet with the door opening outward, so allow about 5 by 5 feet of clear area plus access for the service truck.
Are urinal only units available in San Jose?
Yes, and on large male heavy crowds they cut queues significantly for less than the cost of additional full units. Ask the provider about the mix.
Can I rent a unit for a whole year in San Jose?
Yes. Long term rentals are standard on construction projects and are usually billed monthly with weekly service included.
Do you have ADA accessible units?
Yes. ADA units are wider, have a ground level entry and interior grab bars, and follow the 2010 ADA Standards. Order at least one whenever the public has access.
