a short guide to portable toilets in Australia

What is a Portable Toilet / Portaloo / Dunny?

Portable toilets, also known as a Portaloo or Dunny in Australia, are temporary sanitation facilities used on constructions sites, at events and in remote locations, where there is limited access to permanent restrooms. Portable toilets can be purchased directly from Site HQ.

Portable Toilet types?

Portable Toilets are available in different varieties depending on your needs and budget. The most common type is the self-contained portable toilet, which has a waste tank that needs to be serviced and emptied regularly. Another option is the sewer-connected portable toilet, which plumbs directly into a sewer line or septic system. This eliminates the need for waste removal services but requires access to a suitable connection point. At Site HQ we offer both self-contained portable toilets, such as our Marine or Billabong portable toilet as well as the option of sewer connect portable toilets.

Benefits of a Portable Toilet?

There are several benefits to using portable toilets in Australia, especially for situations where permanent restrooms aren’t available.

Here are some of the key advantages:

Compliance with regulations: In Australia, it is a requirement for construction sites to provide clean and hygienic facilities for employees working on construction sites. If it’s not possible to provide access to permanent toilets, which is often the case on housing construction sites, then portable toilets should be provided.
Improved worker productivity: Easy access to toilets reduces the time workers spend looking for restrooms elsewhere.
Hygiene and sanitation: Portable toilets come equipped with handwashing facilities like sinks with sanitising soap. This helps maintain good hygiene and prevent the spread of germs, especially crucial on construction sites or at events with a lot of people.
Convenience: Portable toilets provide a sanitary solution for waste disposal in areas with no permanent plumbing, like campsites, outdoor events, or remote worksites.
Variety of options: There are variable options of Portable Toilets to suit different needs and budgets. You can choose from self-contained units to a sewer connect system. At Site HQ we also offer a wheelchair accessible portable toilet that is essential for events to provide those with mobility impairment or physical disability safe, convenient and comfortable access to a portable toilet.

Are Portable Toilets mandatory on Australian constructions sites?

Yes, Portable Toilets are mandatory on most Australian construction sites. Australian WorkSafe regulations mandate that construction sites provide appropriate toilet facilities for workers. While permanent toilets are ideal, portable toilets become essential when there’s no viable access to them.

Here’s why portable toilets are mandatory on most construction sites:

Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws: These laws require employers to ensure a safe and healthy work environment. This includes providing access to clean and hygienic toilets.
National Construction Code (NCC): The NCC sets guidelines for building construction, including sanitation requirements. It specifies the ratio of toilets to workers on a site.
State and Territory regulations: Each state and territory in Australia might have additional regulations regarding sanitation facilities on construction sites. These regulations often align with the WHS Laws and NCC but can provide more specific details.

Exceptions may exist in special circumstances:

Small, short-term projects: For small construction projects lasting only a short period (think minor repairs), alternative arrangements with nearby facilities might be acceptable. However, it’s crucial to check with your local authorities first.

It’s always best to consult with your state or territory’s specific work health and safety department for the most up-to-date regulations on portable toilets in construction sites. But in most cases, having them readily available is mandatory to comply with safety regulations and ensure worker wellbeing.

How do I clean a Portable Toilet?

Portable toilets don’t require connection to external services, though they do require regular pump-out servicing. We recommend contacting your local council as they will be able to direct you to a septic company where you’ll be able to schedule in regular cleaning/ pump out maintenance with them.

Alternatively, you may dispose of the waste yourself with our rear evacuation valve portable toilet. The rear evacuation valve aids in the removal of waste without having to pump it out through the toilet bowl itself. Contact us on 1300 748 347 to find out more about this portable toilet add-on.

If you’re after a portable toilet that does not require pump out servicing, check out our sewer connect portable toilets.
