Does having a portable restroom on my construction site really cut down on expenses and time?
By providing a portalet on your construction site you can reduce the distance employees must travel to use a restroom as well as the time employees must spend searching for an alternative facility because no nearby restroom has been provided.
The following chart was developed in a study conducted by the Portable Sanitation Association International (PSAI). The annual cost of 10 minutes of wasted toilet time per employee, per day:
| Hourly Rate | Five Employees | Ten Employees |
|---|---|---|
| $7 | $1,487.50 | $2,975.00 |
| $8 | $1,670.00 | $3,400.00 |
| $10 | $2,125.00 | $4,250.00 |
| $13 | $2,762.50 | $5,525.00 |
| $15 | $3,187.50 | $6,375.00 |
Formula: Hourly Rate divided by 60 Minutes Per Hour x 10 Minutes x Number of Employees x 255 Days Per Year.
