Ask construction project managers and they will tell you that problems like communication, work shortages, scheduling, and undecided property owners are constant. The last thing builders and managers need is to worry about sanitation. That is why they trust Flush with portable toilet rentals and portable hand wash sink rentals as they know we are all about solving sanitation problems.
Sanitation Problems & Solutions
Sanitation at construction sites is multi-faceted. Let’s start with bathroom needs. The average person uses the bathroom up to eight times a day to urinate, takes about a minute for bowel movements, and uses as many as ten sheets of tissue per visit. Add to this scenario food truck tacos and a six-pack of beer, the sanitation at a job site is enough to drive any construction project manager insane.
Next, work crews routinely encounter on-site problems like rainwater waste and elements like lead, building material particles, and paint or solvents, which require handwashing throughout the day. Without portable toilet rentals or handwashing sink rentals in multiple locations, it becomes more difficult to handle these issues. It can also be detrimental to construction workers’ health and safety.
Construction crews also work in high-risk jobs where stress and injury are more likely to occur. Because workers are constantly on the go working in manual labor positions, they also are at risk for mental health issues. Where do they go to get a break? A portable bathroom is often the one place where construction workers can go on-site to get a moment of privacy as well as take a short break.
A tenth of workers are also injured annually, so having access to sanitation services is beneficial. Hand washing stations provide clean water in case it is needed for an emergency. Having access to handwashing stations support cleanliness standards as well as reduces the likelihood of contamination. Dermatitis is also common because of the nature of the work, so keeping hands clean is critical.
In the age of COVID-19, allowing extra time for bathroom and handwashing breaks can reduce contamination and the spread of germs. Research by the Laborer’s Health & Safety Fund found that 60% of construction workers are at elevated risk for severe Covid-related illnesses. Not only do additional portable toilet rentals reduce germ spreading but handwashing practices enhance on-site hygiene.
