Welcome to Westway Site Services formerly Moore Cans! We consider ourselves to be experts in the field of knowing what it takes to supply and maintain porta-potties, of all kinds, for all occasions, throughout Texas. From events that include lavish outdoor weddings to construction sites that keep Texas booming, our uninterrupted history of nearly a half-century allows us to offer the kind of insight and professionalism our customers need, demand, and appreciate.
When it comes to construction endeavors, Westway Site Services formerly Moore Cans has a generous inventory of porta-potties that are 'ear-tagged' for only that purpose. City ordinances detail the requirements regarding portable sanitation on construction sites. Often, inspectors require that the proper number of construction-site porta-potties are on-site before approving the inspection. In addition to that, OSHA has detailed mandates regarding porta-potties used for construction crews.
When ordering porta-potties for your road construction project, Westway Site Services formerly Moore Cans will place your units at your location according to your specifications. Please be aware, however, that servicing the units safely may require construction site porta-potties to be placed in alternate locations since servicing trucks are large and heavy. Porta-potties on road-construction sites can be placed in almost any location that offers a dry, level surface as long as that surface is in a safe place, away from on-going traffic.
Servicing Road-Construction-Site Porta-Potties
We recommend your road construction-site porta-potties be serviced twice a week, for two good reasons:
Firstly, you will want to make sure the cleanliness of each porta-potty unit satisfies OSHA standards for cleanliness, at all times. As a side-note: porta-potties do not need to be 'immaculate' to meet OSHA cleanliness guidelines. When OSHA comes knocking, there is no forewarning. One of the last things a construction company needs is a list of OSHA cleanliness violations and possible penalties that go with it.
Secondly, you want your workers to have accessibility to the most germ-free environment, as possible, on a continual basis. Lost work time due to illness is not what any construction company, having to meet various deadlines, would wish to deal with.
The servicing of construction-specific porta-potties is performed by our efficient maintenance team, and it involves:
1. Pumping-out the holding tank
2. Cleaning the inner bowl of each unit
3. Cleaning and sanitizing all other inside features of each unit
4. Cleaning the outside of each unit, if necessary
5. Adding a specialized detergent in the water to ensure optimal sanitation and deodorization
6. Restocking supplies including toilet paper, water, soap, and paper towels
Standard construction-site porta-potties are self-contained and do not require any special hookups to fully function.
How Many Road-Construction-Site Units Will You Need?
The American National Standards Institute advises one portable toilet for every 10 workers during a 40-hour work week. However, per OSHA standards, construction employers with 20 or fewer employees must provide one toilet for their workers. Construction sites with up to 40 workers must provide one toilet and one urinal. With 200 or more employees, one toilet and one urinal are required for every 50 workers. These standards represent the bare minimum.
