Dirty Work Porta Potties
How many porta potties does a Florida job site need?
Florida sets the minimum number of portable restrooms on construction sites by crew size, and adjusts it by how often the units are serviced. Here's the rule in plain English, plus a calculator.

Florida's construction restroom table
| Workers on site | Restrooms required |
|---|---|
| 1–10 workers | 1 restroom |
| 11–20 | 2 |
| 21–30 | 3 |
| 31–40 | 4 |
| 41–50 | 5 |
| Over 50 | +1 for every 10 more workers (or fraction) |
The state table assumes the units are serviced once a week. Service twice a week and you can divide the count by two; three or more times a week, divide by three, and round up.
If one contractor runs several neighboring sites, they count as one site, and units can be shared as long as each is within 300 feet of every site it serves.
One hand-wash station is required for every ten portable restrooms where food is served or at remote locations.

Questions we hear a lot
Does OSHA also have a rule?
Yes. OSHA 1926.51 requires toilets on construction sites based on the number of employees, and also requires hand-washing facilities. Florida's table is the one inspectors use most often for portable restrooms.
Does the count include subcontractors?
Yes. Count everyone working on site at peak, not just your own crew.
