Consensus-based Standards Addressing the Number and
Placement of Portable Sanitation Units
The portable sanitation industry is subject to a variety of standards
concerning the number and placement of units, hand wash stations, and
related equipment. The following provides an overview of the most important
standards. Due to space limitations, these summaries necessarily omit
details. Please refer to the full text of the standards for complete information
regarding important requirements that may pertain to your business.
The PSAI creates and updates many of the standards that are relevant
to portable sanitation. The PSAI serves as the accredited ANSI Standards
Developer for three standards that closely affect our industry. This means
the PSAI takes the lead in building a consensus among representatives
from materially affected and interested parties in ensuring the standards
are up to date and reflect the best thinking of those affected, following
ANSI's required processes on a regular schedule to make sure they are up
to date. In 2016 the PSAI finalized the most recent updates of the following
standards. Other organizations also write standards that affect our industry
using ANSI's process. Information on the following pages describes the most
relevant standards for PROs.
As you will see in reviewing the ANSI and OSHA standards included in this
book, the current ANSI standards are higher than those of OSHA. ANSI
standards, and the PSAI's involvement in establishing them, help the PSAI and
its Members raise the bar and improve the reputation of our industry.
