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.
For a Lake Charles event the arithmetic is: guests divided by 50, rounded up, plus one unit per 100 guests for every two hours beyond four, plus about 15 percent if alcohol is served.
Weekly is the default because it matches the tank. Sixty to seventy gallons is around 100 uses, and ten people over a working week is about 100 uses, which is where both rules of thumb come from.
Where should units go on a Lake Charles site?
Keep Lake Charles units within about 25 feet of where the service truck can park. That single constraint decides most placement questions on tight urban sites.
On a long Lake Charles rental, choose a position that will still work in month three. Sites change, and repositioning a unit carries a fee.
Hand washing is a separate provision from the restroom itself. Where Lake Charles crews handle contaminants, a station with soap and running water is what the rule requires.
Book as early as the date allows. Peak wedding and festival weekends in Calcasieu County go months ahead, particularly for trailers and ADA units.

Lake Charles porta potty questions
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.
How many hand wash stations should I order?
One per three to four units is the normal ratio. Go to one per two units for food service, weddings or anywhere children are present.
What happens at the end of the rental?
The provider collects the units on the agreed date. For long term job site rentals, just call when the project finishes and they schedule the pickup.
What happens in freezing weather?
Providers add antifreeze to the holding tank and may adjust the servicing schedule. Keep a cleared path so the service truck can still reach the unit.
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.
