B&R Portable Restrooms & Services offers portable wheelchair accessible restrooms that are A.D.A. compliant for use on a construction site, commercial area. Where location permits , our A.D.A. units are large enough and contain the appropriate characteristics to meet and abide by the standards that have been outlined by the ‘Americans with Disabilities Act’.
Americans with Disabiies Act ( ADA) the statute that effects our industry states that for single user portable toilets clustered at a single location, at least 5% but no less than one toilet unit shall be installed at each cluster whenever typical inaccessible units are provided. Accessible units shall also be identified by the International Symbol of Accessibility. The exception is that if portable toilet units are used exclusively by construction personnel who do not require the use of an A.D.A. unit, you are not required to comply with this statute. (Federal Register/Vol. 56, No. 144/July 26, 1991/Rules and Regulations/4.1.2 Accessible Site and Exterior Facilities: New Construction). For the complete set of A.D.A. guidelines relating to portable restrooms, please contact our office or view our Regulations page.
6. Does a Portable Restroom Really Help My Bottom Line? (construction)
By providing a portable restroom on your work site, you can reduce the distance, time and fuel your employees must spend searching for an alternative facility/location. The following chart was developed in a study conducted by the Portable Sanitation Association International (PSAI).
The annual cost of 20 minutes of wasted toilet time per employee, per day:
Hourly Rate | 4 Employees | 10 Employees |
$8.00 | $3,340.00 | $3,400.00 |
$10.00 | $4,250.00 | $4,250.00 |
$13.00 | $5,525.00 | $5,525.00 |
$15.00 | $6,375.00 | $6,375.00 |
Formula as shown is as follows: Hourly rate divided by 60 minutes per hour x 20 minutes x number of employees x 255 days per year.
