  Portable toilets are a component of many job sites. There are laws regarding how these portable toilets should be operated that must be taken into consideration by employers. Each state has its own regulations. If laws are not followed, the employer can be reported to the state of Texas and its administration.
  
  

Number

• Portable toilets should be furnished for each sex unless the number of employees totals less than 15. In that case, a single toilet that can be used by both sexes is allowable. Depending on the total number of workers, the employer should use its own discretion in deciding how many toilets will be needed on the particular job site.
  
  

Features
