Start with the working day
Give the expected crew size, number of shifts, working hours and projected rental length. Mention whether permanent facilities remain available during the work. Discuss the unit count and service interval with the provider and the person responsible for site requirements.
Plan for a changing site
- Choose placement that will remain reachable as materials and vehicles move.
- Keep pedestrian access away from active lifting or equipment paths.
- Tell the provider about locked gates, narrow drives and delivery windows.
- Agree how servicing works when the site is unoccupied or secured.
Understand the recurring agreement
Ask whether billing is weekly, monthly, every four weeks or on another basis. Confirm included service visits, charges for extra visits and what happens if access is blocked. An estimated project finish date should not be treated as a confirmed cancellation or pickup instruction.
Before signing, ask who must request off-hire, how much notice is needed and when recurring charges stop.

Planning around OSHA requirements
For crews of 20 or fewer, the federal construction sanitation standard lists one toilet facility. Larger crews have different requirements under Table D-1; a single “one per 20 workers” rule does not describe the whole standard.
Plan the quantity together with convenient access, sanitary conditions and a service schedule. Confirm the requirements that apply to your site with the responsible employer and local authority.
Read OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 →This is planning guidance, not OSHA product approval or certification.
