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.
The regulation only covers work. For anything guest facing you are working from planning ratios, which is why two events with the same headcount can need different provision depending on duration and whether there is a bar.
The symptom of an under serviced unit is predictable: fine on Monday, avoided by Thursday. If crews are leaving a Howell site to find a restroom, the schedule is wrong rather than the count.
How should units be placed in Howell?
Wind matters more than people expect. On exposed Howell sites, units should be staked or strapped, particularly if they sit on a hard surface where they cannot be anchored into ground.
A standard unit occupies roughly 4 by 4 feet with the door opening outward, so allow about 5 by 5 feet of clear space. The service truck needs to get within about 25 feet of each unit.
Position units on the exit path at a Howell event and most guests will use the hand wash station. Put the station off to one side and far fewer will.
Where food is served at a Howell event, move to one hand wash station per two units rather than one per three or four.

Howell porta potty questions
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.
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 often will the unit be serviced in Howell?
Weekly is the standard on job sites. In summer heat, or with more than about 10 workers per unit, twice weekly keeps the unit usable.
What do I do if a unit is damaged or tipped over?
Call the provider straight away. Most will right and reservice a tipped unit quickly, and damage caused by vandalism is usually covered by the rental terms.
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.
