WHAT YOU GETMake room for everyone.
- Confirm compliant ground-level access
- Interior grab bars and turning space
- Accessible route and landing required
Plan it for your site
For one cluster of portable toilets at an event covered by the ADA, plan at least 1 accessible unit for 1–20 units, 2 for 21–40, and 3 for 41–60. Apply the requirement to each cluster, not just the site total.
Before you book
A wider cabin alone does not prove ADA compliance. The approach, entry, door, grab bars, and interior clearances all matter. The photo gallery illustrates equipment types; request the actual accessible model photo.
CONSTRUCTIONOSHA is the starting point.
29 CFR 1926.51(c)(1), Table D-1, lists 1 facility for 20 or fewer employees; 1 toilet seat and 1 urinal per 40 workers for 20 or more; and per 50 for 200 or more. Confirm applicability, sanitary condition, and timely access for the actual site.
Read the construction standard ↗ACCESSIBILITYThe route matters, too.
For covered portable-toilet clusters, at least 1 in every 20 units must be accessible, rounding up. A 60-inch diameter turning circle or compliant T-space is one requirement. The accessible route, door, and landing matter as much as the cabin.
Read the Access Board guidance ↗ Equipment details to confirm
- Turning space
- 60-in. diameter circle or compliant T-space
- Entry & door
- Confirm model-specific clearances
- Dimensions & tank
- Manufacturer sheet required
- Placement
- Firm, stable, accessible surface
Example dimensions are approximate, not manufacturer specifications for your assigned unit. Obtain the actual model sheet, tank capacity, and access requirements in writing.
