Having the right temporary toilet solution on-site can make a huge difference to worker health, comfort and productivity. Here are some of the key benefits of providing portable toilets at construction sites:
Workers will be more comfortable
Not just a nice-to-have, portable toilets are essential for meeting basic needs of staff working on construction sites. When you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go – and the peace of mind that comes with knowing there are clean, properly serviced toilets close-by can’t be underestimated.
Clients will be happier
When doing renovations to an existing building or home, some contractors may think nothing of having their team simply use existing toilets on the property. After all, they’re already there and no additional cost is required. However, this can be a huge inconvenience to the client and can jeopardise the working relationship.
When you have a team of construction workers using the same bathroom normally only used by a family or an office, things can get somewhat awkward. Ensuring comfortable portable toilets for construction staff helps to minimise inconvenience for the client, and offers much better accessibility for your team.
Worker health will be better
We’ve all had to hold it in when we didn’t have any other options – but making a habit of holding it in can lead to some very serious health complications. Not having access to a toilet can cause urinary tract infections which can further lead to kidney infections and lasting damage. Other complications can include abdominal cramps, pain, constipation and hemorrhoids. Need we say more? We hope not!
Productivity will improve
Hours of productivity can be lost each day to workers having to go off-site to find suitable toilets at nearby petrol stations or malls. Renting the right ablution facilities and having them conveniently placed on site can help minimise downtime from lengthy toilet breaks, keeping everyone on-site and focused for longer. Higher productivity also means faster completion of jobs and, of course, better overall profitability.
You’ll comply with regulations
By law, employers are required to provide toilet facilities that are freely and readily accessible at the place of work. The number of toilets required is dependent on the total number of employees on site. One convenient solution for longer term construction projects is the Fancy Flush Kaya Loo ablution block. The 10-cubile unit requires minimum service apart from regular maintenance – making it a highly economical solution for construction sites that meets all worker and regulatory needs.
