Portable toilets - not a pretty sight but certainly a welcome sight

Portable toilets may not be an element of the main topic of conversation when you're reminiscing about your weekend at the mud bath which was Glastonbury or the open air concert at Blickling Hall you attended in the summer. However, chances are the portable toilets which are usually deployed at every major event such as the two mentioned are a sight for sore eyes, especially if you're bursting to go.

It is a legal requirement that any gathering of the public is supplied with adequate toilet facilities, and there are minimum numbers which have to be supplied given the expected numbers attending. But aside from the legal requirement isn't it better to have a toilet to go to rather than the other option facing everyone, namely finding the nearest dyke, ditch or hedgerow.

Joking aside we British seldom talk about toilets but we love toilet humour. The thought of the million and one jokes which could be derived from a lack of sanitation at an outdoor concert or public event would keep a comedian’s script writer in work for years. 

However, it isn't merely at an open air public event or gathering where the numbers of visitor will far exceed the available fixed toilet and sanitation installations. Building sites where construction workers are on site need toilet facilities. Long gone are the days when it was considered okay for any of the guys on site to ‘take a leak’ round the back of the buildings under construction. 

It is a typical site when walking past a building site of any size to see at least one portable toilet on site; some construction sites are so large it isn't unusual to see changing room and shower facilities housed in a portable cabin structure. And of course, given the times we live in a site manager or owner has to provide suitable toilet facilities for male and female employees.

If the portable toilet facilities are required at a work place and/or place where the public have access and regular facilities are not available for one reason or another, services for the disabled also have to be considered. In every situation where portable facilities are required, they have to be adequate for the number of projected potential employees, visitors and members of the public on site. In addition, they also have to conform to strict environmental controls and regulations, as well as be as hygienic and clean to the very people they are put in place for.

Just when your visitors ‘need to go’ portable toilet hire will fill in the gaps at any event

If you’ve ever attended an event such as a major music festival or something as traditional as a village fete, you'll remember how important those portable toilets were. As an organiser of such an event you’ll probably be only too aware of how convenient portable toilet hire and other sanitation facilities can be.

As you may be aware as an event organiser you have a duty of care to provide adequate shower, toilet and other sanitation facilities to an outdoor or indoor event where traditional fixed facilities will not be able to cope with additional numbers of staff and/or visitors. The same applies on construction sites where new buildings are taking shape, as well as in places such as shopping centres where fixed facilities are out of use and/or being repaired or upgraded.

However, organisers of events where there will be large numbers of visitors should also provide suitable toilet and sanitation facilities for the potential numbers attending. In particular when a birthday, engagement or anniversary event is held and many people will be attending it is better to have too many than too few. Another private event which might require portable toilet hire is a wedding reception held at a private venue.

Most hotels and country clubs which offer facilities for any or all of the aforementioned events will have adequate facilities to cope. However, if you choose to hold a ‘do’ on a private site, you may need to consider how the (lack of) toilet facilities might impinge on the event.

 

We seldom talk about toilet facilities regardless of where we may be, but guaranteed you'll know all about it when you’re desperate to go and there aren't any or isn't adequate facilities to cope with demand. How many times have you been to an event and there have been queues of people waiting to use inadequate numbers of toilets, and indeed less than sanitary toilets at that? 

Chances are, like all of us who have been in this situation have longed for something a little more adequate, and certainly something which smells a ‘whole lot sweeter’.

With portable toilet rental you’ll be answering a lot of ‘calls of nature’

Why do we refer to it as a ‘call of nature’ when we should just call a spade a spade and say we need a ‘pee’? Perhaps because were English and although we love a little toilet humour, sometimes we aren't able to talk about bodily functions easily. And if you’ve ever been caught short or desperately needed to go at an outside event or function and the fixed toilet facilities were inadequate, what would you have given for someone to have considered portable toilet rental for the event.

That event might be an outdoor wedding reception, a hideously muddy and rain soaked music event or a picnic in the park accompanied by music at somewhere like Blickling Hall in Norfolk. Organisers of outdoor events and shows where there will be large numbers of visitors have a duty of care to provide adequate and sanitary toilet facilities. 

Trouble is, how often have you been to an event and found the ‘facilities’ provided less than sanitary and woefully inadequate? If your role is now reversed and you’re in a position where you have to organise the toilet and sanitation facilities for an event, take note of your personal experience and make sure you don't let your visitors down.

 

On the other hand if you're running a construction site and need to provide temporary shower, washroom and toilet facilities for the workforce and/or visitors to the site consider the benefits of portable toilet rental and washroom rental. Serviced units by trained operators mean your toilets and facilities will be kept as clean and hygienic as possible, while maintaining your legal requirement to provide such facilities.

Running a successful event or just providing suitable and adequate sanitation facilities for staff and visitors, it’s all part of nature’s calling. If you're not sure how many toilets you should provide to maintain a legal construction site or an event where members of the public will be attending, check out the easy to use calculator on the TESS website for more information.

Keep it legal, maintain a high level of sanitation and leave it all to someone else and everyone will be kept happy. Better to provide adequate and too many rather than inadequate and not enough toilet and sanitation facilities regardless of the venue.
