Sizing guide
Four counting rules our Salinas dispatch team uses for parties, weddings and jobsites.
Rule 1
Plan 1 standard unit per 50 guests for an event up to 4 hours. A 100-guest, 4-hour party needs 2 units. Longer events need more.
Rule 2
Drinks mean more trips. Add 20% to your count, and at least 1 extra unit. That 100-guest party with beer becomes 3 units.
Rule 3
The 2010 ADA Standards call for 5% of portable units in each cluster to be accessible, with at least 1. Our accessible unit has ground-level entry and about 60 inches of turning space.
Food on the menu?
Standard units have hand sanitizer only. A handwashing station adds 2 sinks, a foot pump, soap and paper towels.
Rule 4
Cal/OSHA (8 CCR §1526) requires 1 toilet per 20 employees. A crew of fewer than 5 can share 1 unit. Long-term units are serviced weekly.
Farm crews
Cal/OSHA §3457 calls for 1 toilet and 1 handwashing station per 20 field workers, within a ¼-mile walk or 5 minutes, whichever is shorter.
