OSHA 1910.141: 28 employees in a warehouse. How many toilets required?

OSHA 1910.141 requires two portable toilets for 28 employees in a warehouse renovation. The standard specifies 16 to 35 employees need two toilet facilities. You must provide these units for the duration of the project, with service visits scheduled to maintain cleanliness and functionality.

Unit type and placement: Use standard portable toilets with holding tanks for cost efficiency and simplicity. Place them on level ground near the work area, ensuring truck access for weekly service visits. The vacuum truck needs a clear path within 25 feet to pump waste and restock supplies.

ADA compliance: If you cluster both units at one location, the ADA 5 percent cluster rule applies. You need at least one ADA-compliant portable toilet in the cluster, featuring a wider door, grab bars, and adequate turning space. Identify it with the International Symbol of Accessibility.

Service and considerations: Schedule weekly service to empty the holding tanks, recharge the deodorizer, and restock toilet paper. For a warehouse with 28 workers over multiple weeks, this frequency should suffice unless usage is unusually high. No additional units are needed for food or alcohol, as this is a work site without those elements.

Plan for these requirements in your site logistics and rental agreement. Any questions on placement, service adjustments, or specific unit features?
