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.
On a Cedar Rapids job site the OSHA table is a floor rather than a target. Most contractors order one unit per 10 workers, because that is the ratio that keeps a unit usable across a week of standard servicing.
Servicing is the other difference. A Cedar Rapids job site on weekly service gets the tank pumped, the unit cleaned and the paper restocked once a week, which suits a crew of up to about 10 per unit.
Where should units go on a Cedar Rapids site?
On Cedar Rapids sites with vehicle traffic, place units where a reversing truck cannot clip them and where workers do not have to cross a haul route to reach them.
Each unit needs roughly 5 by 5 feet of clear ground including the door swing, on a surface firm enough that it will not settle after a wet week.
Review the order when the crew size changes. A Cedar Rapids site carrying six units through a fit out with a crew of twelve is paying for capacity nobody is using.
Where food is served at a Cedar Rapids event, move to one hand wash station per two units rather than one per three or four.
