Keep Your Crew Comfortable, Compliant, and Productive Anywhere You Build

Remote construction projects come with unique challenges—limited infrastructure, minimal water access, and increased logistics demands. But one critical aspect that’s often underestimated is jobsite sanitation. From isolated road crews to temporary housing developments, every site needs a plan for portable toilets and showers that are durable, easy to service, and OSHA-compliant.

At Coastal Machinery & Attachments Inc., we’ve outfitted projects across the U.S. with reliable portable sanitation solutions tailored to real-world jobsite demands. In this post, we’ll explore why proper hygiene facilities matter, how to stay compliant, and which units best support crew health, safety, and productivity in remote builds.

Why Jobsite Sanitation Isn’t Optional

According to OSHA standards (29 CFR 1926.51), employers are required to provide “adequate and readily accessible sanitation facilities” for construction workers. Failing to comply not only risks penalties but also creates unsafe and unpleasant working conditions that reduce morale and slow progress.

Common remote jobsite challenges include:

  • Lack of nearby sewer or water lines
  • Extended shifts in remote locations
  • Large crews without fixed facilities
  • Projects spanning weeks or months

Without proper sanitation:

  • Workers may delay hydration and restroom use (risking health complications)
  • Hygiene lapses can increase illness, absenteeism, and liability
  • Crews lose time traveling off-site to access restrooms or showers

The Solution: Portable Toilets and Showers Built for Jobsites

Not all portable units are created equal. For construction use—especially in rugged, off-grid locations—you need sanitation equipment that can withstand harsh environments, be serviced quickly, and accommodate crews of various sizes.

At Coastal Machinery & Attachments Inc., we offer a range of jobsite-grade portable toilets and showers designed with durability and operator convenience in mind.

Features That Matter in the Field:

  • High-capacity waste tanks to reduce service frequency
  • UV-resistant materials for long-term outdoor use
  • Slip-resistant flooring and ventilation to improve comfort
  • Secure locking doors and reinforced frames for security and stability
  • Options for handwash stations or integrated sinks

Choosing the Right Sanitation Setup

Not sure how many units you need or which configuration is best? Based on industry standards and our experience supporting remote crews, here’s a quick guide:

Crew Size Toilet Units Showers (if needed)
10 or fewer 1-2 standard toilets 1 shower unit
11–25 2-4 toilets 1–2 shower units
26–50 4-6 toilets 2–3 shower units

 

Add ADA-compliant units if the project involves public access or requires accessibility features. Also, consider separate male/female units for mixed crews or long-duration projects.

Tips to Maximize Sanitation Efficiency on Remote Jobsites

  • Place units near crew gathering points (trailers, break areas, water stations)
  • Provide hand sanitizer or handwash stations with every toilet bank
  • Rotate units during long projects for regular deep-cleaning off-site
  • Consider solar lighting for nighttime visibility
  • Keep a backup plan for extreme weather conditions or tank overflows
