OSHA requires 1 toilet for 20 or fewer workers on a construction site, per 1926.51(c). At 20 to 199 workers, add 1 toilet and 1 urinal per 40 people. Hollywood Porta Pros sizes crews correctly the first time so a Dania Beach or Hollywood job never gets flagged mid-project.
The rule is 1926.51(c), and it scales with headcount, not square footage. Twenty workers or fewer needs 1 toilet seat. Cross into the 20-to-199 range and you add 1 seat plus 1 urinal for every 40 additional people. At 200 or more, the ratio loosens to 1 seat and 1 urinal per 50 workers. Hollywood Porta Pros walks a lot of general contractors through this math before permits ever get pulled, because guessing low costs more than renting one extra unit. If your crew fluctuates through the week, a standard porta potty rental on a weekly basis usually pencils out cheaper than day-rate swaps. For potable water on site, 1926.51(a)(1) applies separately from toilet counts, and a handwashing station rental covers that need without adding plumbing. Crews doing paint, coatings or pesticide work trigger 1926.51(f)(1) washing facilities specifically for those contaminants, not general hand cleaning. Use our how many porta potties do I need guide to run your own numbers before you call. These osha portable toilet requirements construction crews rely on are federal, so a contractor bidding a job in Oshawa or asking about portable toilet rental oshawa should know Ontario rules differ from what applies here in Hollywood, FL.
Count your peak crew size, not your average. A 15-person framing crew in Hollywood still needs 1 unit under the 20-and-under bracket. Push to 35 workers and you are now in the 20-to-199 band, needing 2 seats and 1 urinal combined. Contractors running multiple trades often round up rather than argue ratios mid-week. Pair unit count with placement: OSHA 1926.202 covers barricading if toilets sit near vehicle paths, and 1926.25 housekeeping rules mean debris cannot block the path to the unit. A porta john rental works for smaller crews, while larger sites lean on portable toilet rental packages with multiple units serviced on the same route. If your project sits near Pembroke Park or West Park, both roughly 7 miles south of central Hollywood, delivery timing is the same as anywhere else in the metro. Service frequency follows ANSI/PSAI Z4.3, which sets a baseline of one visit weekly for every 10 users across a 40-hour week.
OSHA does not publish a hard distance number for toilet placement on general construction sites, so do not let anyone quote you a specific foot count as federal law. What OSHA does require is access: 1926.51(c) assumes the facility is reasonably reachable during the shift, and 1926.56(a) sets minimum lighting for the areas workers travel through, including that path after dark. Agricultural operations are different. Field sanitation rule 1928.110 requires a facility within a quarter mile walk, or five minutes, for hand-labor employees, one per 20 workers. If you are running a farm crew near Hollywood, check our farm and agricultural restrooms page. For roll-off placement near a toilet or storage setup, keep in mind a roll-off dumpster rental truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it, which affects where you can realistically stage a unit cluster. Municipal right-of-way placement rules were not verified for Hollywood specifically, so confirm curb or sidewalk placement with the city before locking in a spot; see porta potty permit requirements and dumpster permit requirements for what to ask about. People searching osha portable toilet distance requirements are usually looking for exactly this kind of access-and-placement answer rather than a fixed foot count.
OSHA's toilet-count rule does not set ADA specs, but if you are serving the public, not just a job crew, ADA Standards apply on top of 1926.51(c). Section 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered single-user units to be accessible, never fewer than one. Section 404.2.3 sets a 32 inch minimum clear door opening, and 304.3.1 requires a 60 inch turning circle inside. A standard unit runs about 44 by 48 inches on the ground and 92 inches tall, which is why accessible units are built larger. Event organizers in Hollywood renting for a race, festival, or wedding should check our ADA accessible porta potty page and the broader ADA restroom requirements guide. Weekly ADA rentals run in the 120 to 240 dollar range depending on duration and delivery. For general event use, see event restroom rental and festival restroom rental for how counts change with attendance instead of crew size.
| unit | day | week | month |
|---|---|---|---|
| standard | 100-350 | 130-500 | 125-325 |
| ada | 200-400 | 120-240 | not offered |
| deluxe | 85-1200 | 150-290 | not offered |

Yes, but only in specific cases. 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where workers apply paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, not as a blanket rule for every job. General industry sites fall under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which requires soap and towels or a drying device; sanitizer alone does not satisfy it. Rent through hand sanitizer station rental or a proper portable sink rental depending on which rule applies.
You will likely get a correction notice with a deadline to fix the ratio. The fastest fix is adding units same-day. Hollywood Porta Pros keeps standard and ADA units ready for rush delivery across Hollywood and nearby Dania Beach, 2.5 miles north. Check emergency porta potty rental if you are already past the deadline.
OSHA's construction rules apply once you have employees on site, including subcontractors, so a homeowner working alone is not covered the same way a crew is. Most renovation contractors rent one anyway to avoid disputes. See home renovation porta potty for typical setups on smaller jobs.
Yes, and many Hollywood contractors bundle both for one delivery window. A storage container rental or 20ft storage container works well next to a toilet cluster on tight lots. Check storage container rental cost for current bands.
No. Cal/OSHA rules govern California worksites only, so cal osha portable toilet requirements and cal osha portable toilet requirements construction language does not apply to a Hollywood, FL jobsite. Florida contractors follow federal OSHA standards, including 1926.51(c), regardless of what out-of-state paperwork references Cal/OSHA language.
