High-rise build: Servicing a unit when the elevator is out.

You must not skip the weekly service for a standard portable toilet or ADA-compliant portable toilet during elevator maintenance. A full holding tank is a health hazard and violates OSHA sanitation standards for your 60-person crew, which requires two units under OSHA 1926.51. Contact your rental company immediately to reschedule the service for a day when the elevator is operational. Most companies will accommodate this without a missed service fee if you give advance notice. If the maintenance is unexpected and the units are at capacity, the only safe option is to have the rental company deliver a temporary unit at ground level for the day. The vacuum truck requires direct access; there is no practical way to service a unit on the 12th floor without elevator access. Always coordinate elevator outages with your service provider to avoid this problem.
