Thanks to a growing economy, we are finally starting to recuperate from the recent financial downturn we have all had to live through. Fortunately, many industries, which were considered "hard hit", such as construction, are now seeing some renewed interest and increased demand for services. All of this is, of course, wonderful news as it means that corporations are starting to invest their money again into renovating old buildings and homes, as well as creating entirely new construction projects, from the ground up.

This upswing, hopefully, will continue for the long term, which means that it is now time to start thinking about finding the right construction workers for these newly created jobs, as well as to make sure that the right equipment is in place, giving your workers the proper tools to do their job. If you want top quality work you have to remember two things: 1) make sure your workers are happy and 2) make sure you supply them with the tools they need to get it done right.

Indeed, when it comes to construction projects, meeting deadlines, coming in on budget and producing an excellent end product depends, almost entirely, on the workers who perform the tasks which means, it is in your best interest to take good care of your staff, as well as to make sure that they know how important and integral they are to the team.

Interestingly enough, many construction workers have commented that while they, of course, love to be recognized through salary increases and bonuses, they also understand that this is not always financially possible. However, being appreciated, through smaller gestures, such as having the use of restroom trailers that are not only clean and efficient, but also offer a few extras such as a sink with running hot and cold water and a little room to move in are often gestures that do not pass unnoticed.

It seems obvious, but you'll need to know what address the portable toilet should be delivered to. Furthermore, you'll need to specify where on your site you'd like the unit to be positioned. If the vendor will be delivering the unit, are they insured and bonded? You'll want to balance a convenient location with work site safety. Are the portable restrooms OSHA-approved? If you're constructing a high-rise building, consider a unit with optional lifting hooks that can be moved to upper floors. Remember, the goal is to keep the toilet close to the workers in order to keep them working, not hunting for facilities.

If you have a mobile office on site, you might consider a more spacious alternative like a unit with a flushing toilet with a built in sink with faucets and a powered ventilation fan.

How many people will be on your site? Typical recommendations are to consider one toilet per 10 workers for a 40-hour work week. Should you consider more than one unit? Do you need to have ADA accessible portable toilets that are wheelchair and handicap accessible? What are your local regulations pertaining to portable toilets? Your local city ordinances will detail the requirements of a portable toilet at a construction site, and inspectors will insist that a portable toilet has been both ordered and installed or on its way before the inspection is approved.

Of course, these are small gestures, but, if you are trying to get your construction moving again and are looking to hire the best workers, who, in turn, can help you get the best contracts, you will want to consider these types of little perks. When you think about it, it is a very low price to pay for getting the best of the best and keeping them working, productive and happy.

Really, it truly IS the little things that count. So why not stand out as being the employer who cares?.
