WorkSafeBC Compliant
Construction Site Portable Toilet Rentals
Keep your job site compliant and your crew comfortable. Standard units from $150/month, ADA-accessible from $275/month. Weekly servicing included. We handle delivery and pickup across the Okanagan.
WorkSafeBC Requirements for Construction Sites
Every construction site in British Columbia must comply with WorkSafeBC Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Regulation Part 4. The regulations are clear: you need a minimum of one toilet facility for every 10 workers on site. Failing to provide adequate sanitation can result in stop-work orders, fines, and project delays that cost far more than a monthly rental.
Action Septic Pumping has been helping builders and general contractors across the Okanagan stay compliant for over 29 years. We understand the regulations, we stock the right units, and we handle delivery, weekly servicing, and pickup so you can focus on building.
The October 2024 Flush Toilet Amendment
In October 2024, WorkSafeBC amended OHS Regulation Part 4 to encourage flush-type portable toilets on larger construction sites. The regulation sets a higher standard for sanitation facilities, particularly on sites with 25 or more workers. However, whether flush units are strictly required on a given site is assessed at the inspector’s discretion, taking into account factors such as climate, season, and site conditions. Units without heating may not satisfy the requirement during winter months.
For larger sites, upgrading to flush portable toilets with a fresh-water flushing mechanism is a smart choice that demonstrates compliance effort and improves worker satisfaction. We carry flush units and can help you determine the right setup for your project.
How Many Toilets Does Your Site Need?
Sites with up to 24 workers — Standard units
| Workers on Site | Minimum Toilets | Unit Type | Estimated Monthly Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–10 | 1 | Standard | $150 |
| 11–20 | 2 | Standard | $300 |
| 21–24 | 3 | Standard | $450 |
25+ Workers? Consider Flush Units.
WorkSafeBC encourages flush-type portable toilets on construction sites with 25 or more workers. Our Deluxe units come equipped with fresh-water flushing and are a popular upgrade for larger sites. The same 1-per-10-workers ratio applies. Whether flush units are required on your site is at the inspector’s discretion — but upgrading demonstrates compliance effort and keeps your crew comfortable.
| Workers on Site | Minimum Toilets | Unit Type | Estimated Monthly Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25–30 | 3 | Deluxe (flush) | $750 |
| 31–40 | 4 | Deluxe (flush) | $1,000 |

Built for Builders
We work with general contractors, homebuilders, and developers across the Okanagan every day.
General Contractors
Managing multiple trades on a busy site means you need reliable sanitation that just works. We deliver on schedule, service weekly, and handle everything so you have one less thing on your punch list. Multi-site discounts available for contractors running several projects at once.
Custom Home Builders
Building a custom home in Glenmore, the Mission, or Lake Country? A single standard unit at $150/month keeps your small crew compliant and comfortable throughout the build. Most residential builds need one unit for 3–8 months depending on project scope.
Property Developers
Subdivision and multi-family projects often need 3–10 units depending on crew size. We can scale up and down as your workforce changes through different construction phases. Long-term rentals of 6+ months qualify for volume pricing.

Why Monthly Rentals Make Sense for Construction
Most construction projects in the Okanagan run 3–12 months. A monthly portable toilet rental eliminates the hassle of managing sanitation on your own and keeps you focused on the build. Here is what you get with every Action Septic construction rental:

Frequently Asked Questions
How many portable toilets does WorkSafeBC require on a construction site?
One toilet per 10 workers. WorkSafeBC OHS Regulation Part 4, Section 4.85 requires a minimum of one toilet facility for every 10 workers on a construction site. For a site with 25 workers, you need at least 3 units. Action Septic delivers compliant units with weekly servicing included.
Do construction sites need flush toilets now?
WorkSafeBC encourages flush-type portable toilets on larger construction sites. Whether flush units are required on your specific site depends on factors including crew size, project duration, and season — compliance is assessed at the inspector’s discretion. We stock both standard and flush units and can help you choose the right setup. Call us to discuss your site.
How much does a construction site portable toilet cost in the Okanagan?
Standard construction portable toilets start at $150/month with weekly servicing included. We handle delivery and pickup. ADA-accessible units start at $230/month. Most builders and general contractors find monthly rental more cost-effective than daily rates. Call 250-808-7867 for a multi-unit or long-term discount.
How often are construction site portable toilets serviced?
Weekly servicing is standard and included in every rental. Each service visit includes pumping, interior cleaning, sanitizing, and restocking toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and deodorizer. High-traffic sites with 20+ workers may want twice-weekly service, available at an additional cost.
Can you deliver a portable toilet to a construction site the same day?
In most cases, yes. We are based in Kelowna and our trucks are on the road daily across the Okanagan. For planned projects, we recommend booking 3–5 business days ahead. For urgent needs, call us directly at 250-808-7867 and we will do our best to arrange same-day or next-day delivery.
Do I need an ADA-accessible portable toilet on my construction site?
If any worker on your site has a mobility impairment, yes — you are required to provide an accessible unit under WorkSafeBC and BC Human Rights Code requirements. Many general contractors add one ADA unit per site as standard practice regardless. Our ADA units include a ramp, grab bars, and a spacious interior at $230/month.
