How many toilets does OSHA require on a job site?
OSHA rule 29 CFR 1926.51, Table D-1, sets the floor. A site with 20 or fewer workers needs 1 toilet. Larger crews need 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers. Sites with 200 or more workers need 1 seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers.
| Number of employees | Minimum facilities (OSHA Table D-1) |
|---|---|
| 20 or fewer | 1 toilet |
| 20 or more | 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers |
| 200 or more | 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers |
Our OSHA porta potty guide for Tennessee explains the full rule, including the washing-facility section.
Is the legal minimum enough for my crew?
The legal minimum is rarely enough for a full work week. One toilet for 20 workers fills a 60-gallon tank fast. Our recommendation follows the industry guide: 1 unit per 10 workers on a 40-hour week with weekly service. Longer shifts or hot weather call for an extra service visit.
| Crew size (40-hour week) | OSHA legal minimum | Our recommendation, weekly service |
|---|---|---|
| 1–10 | 1 toilet | 1 unit |
| 11–15 | 1 toilet | 2 units |
| 16–20 | 1 toilet | 2 units |
| 30 | 1 seat and 1 urinal | 3 units |
| 40 | 1 seat and 1 urinal | 4 units |
| 60 | 2 seats and 2 urinals | 6 units |
Each PJN3 has both a seat and a urinal, so every unit counts toward both columns.
Do I need a toilet on site before a Putnam County inspection?
Putnam County Codes & Planning requires that workers have access to a portable toilet before any inspection. The same office also wants erosion control and a stone construction entrance in place. Order the unit with the gravel. The inspector will then find all three ready on the first visit.
Putnam County Codes enforces the 2018 IBC and IRC outside city limits and has no formal county zoning. Inside Cookeville, Algood, or Baxter, check the city building office too.
What comes with construction porta potty rental in Cookeville?
Every construction porta potty rental in Cookeville includes setup, weekly service and pickup. Delivery starts at $50 in Putnam County, and a one-time zone charge applies farther out. Each weekly visit pumps the tank, scrubs and sanitizes the inside, and restocks paper and sanitizer. Billing renews every 28 days until you call.
Long jobs that outlast the build, such as a plant shutdown, follow the same plan on our monthly porta potty rental page.
Where should the unit go on a building lot?
The best spot is level, firm, and within reach of the service truck. That is usually beside the stone entrance or the power pole. Keep the unit away from trenches, the dumpster swing path, and low spots. Cookeville gets about 59 inches of rain a year. A gravel pad prevents a mud pit by week three.
Open lots catch thunderstorm wind, so we stake units on exposed sites. Tell us about lot numbers, gate codes, and where the truck should stop.
Do crews need hand washing on site?
Crews need hand washing when the work leaves contaminants on their hands, under OSHA 1926.51(f). Paint, concrete, and sealants are common examples. A PolyJohn Bravo hand-wash station gives two foot-pump sinks and 22 gallons of fresh water. Winter jobs on the Plateau should use the heated version to keep water flowing.
See the hand-wash station rental page for specs and refill details.

Questions about construction rentals
A job-site unit starts at $165 per 28-day cycle with weekly service, plus $50 delivery in Putnam County or a zone charge beyond. Weekly service cannot be skipped to save money, short jobs still bill a full cycle, subdivision units belong inside the lot line, and businesses can apply for invoice terms after a first card order.
How much is a porta potty for a construction site in Cookeville?
A standard job-site unit starts at $165 per 28-day cycle, with weekly service included. Delivery starts at $50 in Putnam County. Farther out, a one-time distance charge applies instead: $35 up to 30 road miles, $65 for 31 to 55 and $95 for 56 to 80. Extra service visits start at $65, and the quote lists every charge plus tax.
My crew is small. Can we get service every two weeks to save money?
Weekly service is built into the job-site rate, so skipping a visit would not lower the bill. A light-use unit still needs fresh chemical and paper every week to keep odor down. Tell us the crew size and hours, and we will confirm one unit with weekly service covers the site.
I'm remodeling my house. Do I need a porta potty for the crew?
A unit for the crew keeps boots out of the house and stops extra load on the plumbing. A unit becomes a must when a bathroom, sewer line, or septic tank is out of service. Place the unit near the driveway, and weekly service keeps it fresh for the whole job.
I only need it for a week or two. Do I still pay for 28 days?
Job-site rentals bill per 28-day cycle, and the price is the same for one week or four. Call before the cycle ends to schedule pickup so the next cycle does not start. For a two- or three-day job, a weekend event rental may cost less, so ask for both quotes.
I'm building several houses in one subdivision. Can you set a unit at each lot?
Builders often place one unit for every two neighboring lots, set just inside the lot line, off the curb and sidewalk, where the truck can reach it. Curb or right-of-way placement needs a city permit. Send a plat or lot list, and each unit joins the same weekly service plan. We can email a certificate of insurance and a W-9.
Can my company pay with a PO or net terms?
The first order is paid by card so the unit gets on the schedule fast. After that, a business can fill out a credit application for invoice billing, ACH, or net terms, which takes a few business days. Your PO number can be added to every invoice.
