COVID-19 GUIDELINES FOR PORTABLE SANITATION

CDC REQUIREMENTS/PSAI STANDARD GUIDANCE FOR EVENT PLANNERS
Be sure you abide by the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA).
• Work with your portable sanitation provider to ensure you have
the right ratio of ADA equipment required for public events.
• Remember: it cannot be more difficult to reach an ADA unit than
to reach a standard unit. So you may need extra ADA equipment
around the venue so that persons covered under the ADA do
not have to travel further to reach this equipment than able-
bodied people must travel.
• Also be sure that your paths of travel to the ADA equipment are
accessible, avoiding curbs, soft terrain, and other things that
would make it hard to reach.
Guidance for Agriculture
The requirements for portable sanitation on agricultural work sites vary considerably even when COVID-19 is not a factor. In
addition to the usual OSHA guidelines
10
and recommendations from various food-handling trade groups, most states have
their own rules around good agricultural practices (GAP) as they pertain to tending and harvesting crops for food. In some
cases, counties within states have even more stringent guidelines. You should always check your local rules as they may
pertain to agriculture and follow whatever is the most stringent set of requirements that apply to your area. What follows
is based on guidance for agricultural sites published by the CDC, ANSI/PSAI Standard Z4.4 providing minimum standards
for sanitation in field and temporary labor camps, the PSAI's previously published guidance for GAP pertaining to portable
sanitation with updated information in light of COVID-19.
