OSHA 1910.141: 65 warehouse employees. How many toilets required?

OSHA 1910.141 requires four toilets for 65 warehouse employees on a single shift. The standard specifies 56 to 80 employees need four toilet facilities, and 65 falls within that range.

Standard portable toilets are the typical solution for warehouse sites. A standard portable toilet is a non-flushing unit with a holding tank and uses a deodorizer to control odor. For 65 people, you would order four standard units placed on level ground within truck access for weekly service.

ADA compliance applies if you cluster multiple units. The ADA 5 percent cluster rule requires at least one ADA-compliant portable toilet in a cluster of four or more units. An ADA unit has a wider door, interior turning space, and grab bars.

Service and placement depend on your site. The service truck needs clear access to each unit on scheduled days for pumping and cleaning. If your warehouse has paved, level ground and space for the truck to park nearby, setup is straightforward. No alcohol or food service changes the calculation here, this is for employee use only during shift hours.

Anyone dealt with a similar warehouse setup or have questions on mixing standard and ADA units?
