This means that if you are having the restrooms in your office building renovated, employee a construction crew at a site where no bathrooms are available, or if you employee farmworkers who work outside with no bathrooms, you must provide your employees with a portable restroom.

Here is some information every employer should know about portable restrooms.

The global pandemic of the novel coronavirus that’s responsible for COVID-19 infections is causing all kinds of changes in our daily routines, to be sure. People have to maintain social distancing as much as possible. At the same time, it’s more important than ever to provide a place where individuals can wash their hands.

The holidays are just around the corner. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, many families or companies may be thinking about canceling their holiday gatherings, parties or events. But, with the help of luxurious restroom trailers, your event may still be able to go off without a hitch. If you want to host a party, but aren't sure how you can pull it off with social distancing guidelines and indoor crowd restrictions, learn how restroom trailer rentals may help you pull it off. 

If you’re considering an outdoor event (many of which call for social distancing and various restrictions on crowding due to COVID-19) then you also need to consider various logistics that need to be in place to handle the expected crowd.

Hurricanes are increasing in frequency and strength around the world. Whether they are due to climate change or the complex workings of Mother Nature, there’s no denying that hurricanes, cyclones and tropical storms are forces to be reckoned with. In 2019 and 2020 alone, Texas was struck by two powerful weather events. One was Tropical Storm Imelda, which made landfall near Freeport, Texas. The slow and unpredictable path of this storm caused wide-ranging and disastrous flooding over much of southeastern Texas. Hurricane Hanna made landfall in South Texas in July of 2020. Almost 90,000 residents lost power and water from this monster of a storm that reached 90 MPH winds. Hurricane preparedness is the best course of action going forward.

Whether it is a fire, earthquake, flood or hurricane, a company wants to be able to minimize downtime and bring operations back on track quickly. Emergency management plans are designed to ensure the safety of processes, employees and building facilities to mitigate and manage disasters.
