Does having a portable restroom on my construction site really cut costs and save time?
By providing a portable restroom on your job 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 close 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 | 5 Employees | 10 Employees |
| $8.00 | $1,670.00 | $3,400.00 |
| $10.00 | $2,125.00 | $4,250.00 |
| $13.00 | $2,762.50 | $5,525.00 |
| $15.00 | $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.
