Construction Site Sanitation Requirements
A practical guide from your local Ann Arbor sanitation experts at Cerise Portable Toilets.
Construction Site Sanitation: OSHA Requirements Made Simple
Federal OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1926.51 sets the rules for portable toilets on construction sites. Here's the plain-English version.
Unit Count Requirements
- Up to 20 workers: 1 toilet
- 20–199 workers: 1 toilet per 40 workers (with at least one urinal)
- 200+ workers: 1 toilet per 50 workers
Cleanliness & Service
Units must be kept clean and sanitary. Most sites schedule weekly service — Cerise includes that automatically with every long-term rental. See our construction service.
Handwashing
OSHA requires accessible handwashing facilities wherever employees handle hazardous substances. Add handwash stations to stay compliant.
Privacy & Accessibility
Units must offer privacy and be accessible to all crew members.
