OSHA 1926.51

Jobsite toilet rules: what OSHA requires

Table D-1, in plain words.

20 or fewer

workers: 1 toilet

A small crew needs at least one toilet on site.

20 or more

workers: 1 seat and 1 urinal per 40

Count your full crew to find the minimum.

200 or more

workers: 1 seat and 1 urinal per 50

Large sites scale by fifty.

Washing counts too

OSHA 1926.51(f) covers washing facilities. A handwashing station adds water, soap and paper towels.

Our advice, beyond the minimum

1 standard unit per 10 workers for a 40-hour week with weekly service.

Weekly service included

28-day rentals include pump-out, cleaning, deodorizer, and a toilet paper and sanitizer restock.
