It is important to have the correct amount of portable toilets for your special event. Without enough portable restrooms, you run the risk of having dissatisfied guests. The last thing you want are long lines or complaints about the lack of portable toilets or that they are dirty. Plan a successful event with plenty of restrooms for the amount of people in attendance. Portable restroom rentals are one of the most important features of special event planning.

In order to plan a corporate or municipal event, you need to dates and back up dates, make a budget, choose and reserve the location, obtain permits and coordinate transportation and parking, as well as plan for event registration. And, depending on the type of event, some other tasks may include decorations and themes, tents, tables and chair layout, and contracting electric and lighting crews, and audio/visual companies. And for outdoor events, depending on the size, add to that to-do list: security, portable toilets, emergency and health care services, and clean up and sanitation.

The true first step in planning an event is to prepare thoroughly. The most important thing to figure out is the total expected number of guests. That number is going to affect everything else. The amount of food, the number of tables, and the amount of portable restrooms or restroom trailers are all dependent on the maximum number of people that are planning to attend. If you are unsure of an exact number, round up. Too much is always better than not enough.

It is never too soon to be thinking about your upcoming event; as we all know, time flies, and soon it will be right around the corner. Corporate events, town fairs, or outdoor weddings can all use a luxury restroom trailer.

But, it is never too soon to book your portable restroom trailer.

Working on the job site in winter can be very difficult as the temperatures drop and things begin to freeze. In New England, conditions on long term construction sites throughout the winter can be hazardous enough. But when your workers want to take a break, their down time should not be hazardous as well. NSC Restrooms uses a brine solution in the tanks of your sites portable toilets and we also put salt in the portable urinals to help prevent freezing up. We know that injuries on the job and employee loss time can cost you quite a bit of money.

There are a few safety tips in regards to portable restrooms we would like to bring to mind as the snow piles up. Please remember to remove the ice and snow from in front of the porta potties, prior to snow storms make sure the path to the portable toilet is free and clear of debris that could trip or injure workers. But most importantly, DO NOT place gas or electric heaters inside the portable restroom units. The heat generated can melt the plastic and in worse cases start a fire. These safety tips can help you prevent serious injuries this winter.

If you are planning on using portable restrooms for your construction site, then there are a few important factors you need to take into consideration before you actually get the restrooms delivered. Here are some questions to consider.

How many people will be on site?
There needs to be portable restrooms available for anyone who needs to make use of them, without the units getting clogged and avoiding the long lines that can form while employees wait to use the facilities. Industry standard is 1 portable restroom for 10 workers for a standard work week on a job site. http://www.psai.org/ .  Per the PSAI Usage - Route Units: On a construction site, each weekly serviced toilet unit can accommodate 10 workers (working a single 40-hour shift) ANSI Z4.3-2005.

How often should the portable toilets be serviced?
This answer can vary widely, depending on the type of project you need the restrooms for, how long porta potties are going to be used on site, how many people are around and how often they make use of the restrooms.

What type of portable restrooms do you need?
There are a wide variety of restroom styles, from basic single toilet units to restroom trailers, as well as mobile office trailers for long term construction sites. At short term work sites, single stall units with hand sanitizer may do the job. For construction sites without easy access to water, it is a good idea to inquire about the fresh water flushing mobile office system so that all the necessary sanitary needs are covered without incurring excessive costs.

Will I need insurance?
Yes, when renting portable restrooms from a supplier you should make sure you have public liability insurance. You are responsible for the safety of your employees while they are using the units on your site.
