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 Columbus site running 60 workers during framing and 12 during fit out needs provision sized for 60 while that phase lasts.
Heavy use and heat both shorten the interval. A Columbus site that is comfortable on weekly service in spring often needs twice weekly through the hottest months.
What do Columbus organisers need to know?
Lighting is worth planning for any Columbus event running past dusk. Units without internal lighting become unusable after dark unless the surrounding area is lit.
The access rule is simple and worth designing around: within about 25 feet of where the truck can stop. Courtyards and rear lots on Columbus sites frequently fail it.
Spread a large Columbus site into two or three banks rather than one row. Walking distance drives usage more than the total count does, and one bank means one long queue.
Signage helps at the margins on a large Columbus site, but it does not fix an under count. If the queue is long, people look for alternatives regardless of the signs.

Columbus porta potty questions
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.
Do I need a permit for a porta potty in Columbus?
Not on private property in almost all cases. Public events and anything placed on a street or sidewalk may need a city permit that covers restroom provision.
Are the units cleaned before delivery?
Yes. Units are cleaned, restocked and deodorised at the yard before they go out, so the first use is on a fresh unit.
Can I move a unit once it has been delivered in Columbus?
The provider can reposition it, usually for a fee. On a long rental it is cheaper to choose a position at the start that will still work later in the project.
Are urinal only units available?
Yes, and on large male heavy crowds they can cut queues significantly for less than the cost of additional full units. Ask the provider about the mix.
