COVID-19 GUIDELINES FOR PORTABLE SANITATION

Guidance for Events
Whether you are planning an event for fifty people or thousands, things will definitely be different than they were before
COVID-19 was a fact of life. While some people may not worry much about catching or spreading the virus, many are rightly
concerned about that. They will make decisions about whether to attend your event and how long to stay based on the
quality and availability of the sanitation you provide. In a report published by Enigma Research titled "2020 Return to Live
Events Survey: What Will Attendees Expect?" data showed that the two factors that would make attendees most likely to
return to events are the presence of hand washing or sanitizer stations throughout the venue and "extreme" sanitation and
cleaning at events at venues, including restrooms.

So it just makes good sense on many levels to ensure that your event site is properly outfitted with enough portable
sanitation and hand washing facilities, in the right locations and with the right amount of cleaning, to keep everyone safe
and feeling confident that you are committed to ensuring their event experience does not unnecessarily expose them to
COVID-19. The following guidance is based on information from the CDC and the PSAI's previously published standards for
events.
