50-person crew, all men: can urinals replace some toilets for OSHA?
I have a 50-man crew on a six-month residential addition site. We are crowded, the ground is flat gravel, and the truck can reach the spot. The OSHA 1926.51 rule for construction says for 20 to 199 workers, you need one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers. For 50 men, that's two toilet seats and two urinals. I want to know if I can use portable urinals instead of some toilets to save space. A standard standard portable toilet takes up the same footprint as a urinal, but a urinal might get more use per hour. Does OSHA count a freestanding urinal the same as a urinal in a stall? And does the ADA 5 percent cluster rule still apply if I only have urinals and no full toilets?
