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.
Treat the OSHA number as the point below which you are non compliant, not the number to order. Comfortable and compliant are different thresholds, and crews notice the difference by midweek.
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 Erie site?
Wind matters more than people expect. On exposed Erie 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.
Hand washing is a separate provision from the restroom itself. Where Erie crews handle contaminants, a station with soap and running water is what the rule requires.
Freezing weather means antifreeze in the tank, which the provider handles. The part that falls to you is a cleared path so the service truck can still reach the unit.

Erie porta potty questions
How often will the unit be serviced in Erie?
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.
Are urinal only units available in Erie?
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.
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.
What is included in a service visit?
The tank is pumped, the unit is washed down, the paper is restocked and deodoriser is added. Any damage is noted and reported.
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.
