Ottawa and Area Portable Toilet Rentals for Events, Seasonal and Construction
Ottawa Portable Toilet Rentals

Here's a breakdown of the key advantages:

​

1. Increased Productivity and Efficiency

• Reduced Downtime: With easily accessible portable toilets on-site, workers don't have to leave the construction area to find restrooms. This minimizes travel time and prevents extended breaks, keeping them focused on their tasks and maximizing work hours.

• Improved Focus: Workers can remain concentrated on their jobs without the distraction or worry of needing to locate an off-site restroom.

​

2. Enhanced Worker Welfare and Morale

• Convenience and Comfort: Providing on-site portable toilets demonstrates a commitment to worker comfort and dignity, which can significantly boost morale and satisfaction.

• Privacy: Portable toilets offer privacy, which is particularly important for all workers.

• Accessibility: Having restrooms readily available on-site ensures workers can attend to their needs promptly, avoiding discomfort.

​

3. Improved Hygiene and Safety

• Reduced Spread of Germs: Portable toilets, especially when regularly cleaned and maintained, help prevent the spread of germs and bacteria, contributing to a healthier work environment. Many units come equipped with hand sanitizers or hand washing stations.

• Site Cleanliness: They ensure proper waste disposal, keeping the construction site cleaner and safer for everyone.

4. Compliance with Regulations

• Specific Ontario Regulations (applicable to Ottawa):

  • Washroom facilities must be located not more than 90 meters from the project work area "where reasonably possible," and otherwise not more than 180 meters.

  • Facilities must be kept in good repair and include a toilet with an open-front seat, toilet paper, a self-closing lockable door, adequate light, heat (if possible), ventilation, and privacy.

  • A clean-up facility (with running water or hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol) must be provided for each single-toilet facility or for every two single-toilet facilities if clustered.

  • For projects requiring five or more toilet facilities, at least one must be designated for female workers only (where reasonable), include a receptacle for sanitary napkins, and be clearly signed. As of January 1, 2025, sites with 20 or more workers, including at least one female, must provide free menstrual products.

  • Generally, a ratio of at least one toilet for every 10 workers is recommended for chemical flush units, though this can vary based on job type, crew size, and layout. Some regulations state one restroom for every 15 workers with hot and cold running water.

5. Professionalism and Client Impression

• Maintained Professionalism: Providing proper facilities avoids the need for workers to use a client's private restrooms, which can be an inconvenience and compromise privacy, thereby maintaining a professional image for the contractor.

• Positive Reputation: Ensuring well-maintained and accessible facilities reflects positively on the company's commitment to safety and worker well-being.
