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.
