Introduction
For more than 60 years, mobile sanitation facilities have been used in many sectors of activity, public or
private. At the beginning, they were mainly used on various temporary or mobile construction sites; over
the years, they have become a practical facility in the following sectors: industry, agriculture, commerce,
training services, cultural events, leisure, concerts and outdoors festivals, beaches and parks, military
camps, refugee’s camps, public events, etc.
Whenever large numbers of people congregate for a long period of time in places where sanitation
facilities lack or are insufficient, the use of mobile toilet cabins not connected to the sewer has become a
common practice providing security, hygiene, healthiness, dignity and privacy.
Adequate provision of toilet cabins allows hygiene, healthiness, comfort, dignity and privacy.
This document complies with the three fundamental pillars of the Sustainable Development Goals,
promoting the best environmental management practices in a broad sense and constituting a large-scale
transversal commitment.
This document contributes to the following Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations:
— SDG 3 Health and Well-being.
— SDG 5 Gender Equality.
— SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation.
— SDG 11 Sustainable Cities. (Waste management).
— SDG 12 Responsible Consumption and Production.
— SDG 13 Climate action.

Separate facilities for each sex shall be provided with hand-washing facilities or disinfection facilities.
5 Type of supply of mobile non-sewer-connected toilet cabin
5.1 Supply on construction sites (public or private), civil engineering and
infrastructures
5.1.1 General conditions
Temporary or mobile construction sites, hereinafter referred to as “sites”, means any public or private
construction site on which construction or civil engineering works are carried out. A non-exhaustive list
of which is given in the European Directive 92/104/CEE, Directive 92/91/CEE and Directive 92/57/CEE.
Construction sites shall be equipped with fixed toilet services, or mobile or temporary toilet cabins,
depending on the number of workers who are going to use them.
These facilities shall be progressively adapted as workers, including those of subcontracting
undertakings and self-employed workers, join the site, always in relation to the number of workers
simultaneously carrying out tasks on the site.
Where the number of workers in a workplace fluctuates greatly, the number of portable toilet-cabins
required shall be determined by the maximum number of workers present during a regular ordinary
working week, in force in each EU member country.
Crews of workers, whether contracted or subcontracted, involved in the construction of dwellings should
be calculated on the basis of Ratio 1 (see Annex B), and are not considered “mobile”.
The contractor shall be responsible for providing sufficient toilet cabins facilities for the total number of
his own workers and for preventing the declared capacity of such facilities from being exceeded and thus
causing unsanitary conditions.
Standard/regular cleaning of workplaces, including mobile toilet cabins and their respective equipment
and facilities, shall be maintained in a proper hygienic condition; to this end, the client
contractor/developer shall be responsible for cleaning them periodically and whenever necessary to
maintain them at all times in a proper hygienic condition, and in a satisfactory state of sanitation.
In those works that have a basic health and safety study, these installations of mobile toilet cabins shall
be specify in the health and safety plan of each contractor in accordance with the provisions of the
corresponding study. Their quantity and location shall be set out in the technical document.
Mobile toilet cabins should be highly recommended in those temporary or mobile works which:
— arise conditioned by the need for rapid and urgent intervention, planned and unplanned;
— are of little technological and economic importance, require little time for their execution (such as,
among others: breakage of pipes, service connections, undermining or sinking of roads, potholes or
repairs to public roads, demolition, urgent shoring or reinforcement of structures, repairs to roofs,
etc.) and for which alternative solutions cannot be adopted.
NOTE The definitions of temporary and mobile works only lasting a short period can be found in the national
and regional standards.
In difficult conditions, or due to lack of space in the aforementioned works sites, these facilities shall not
be dispensed. Fewer mobile toilet cabins can be used by increasing the frequency of on-site services, as
described by the following ratios:
— Ratio 2 (see Annex B and in particular Table B.2);
— Ratio 3 (see Annex B and in particular Table B.3).
In case of underground extracting minerals industries, toilet cabins provided for in this document may
be installed above ground.
The use of trailers as toilet facilities, consisting of mobile toilet(s), washing facilities and sufficient tables
and seats, is permitted on sanitation network sites, on roads of considerable length and for short working
times in individual stalls away from each other, in addition to the ordinary toilet facilities located in the
site areas or base camps.
Works should not begin without having previously solved, by means of portable, fixed or provisional
sanitation installations, the aforementioned health and safety and hygiene conditions at work, in
accordance with their specific regulations.
In no case mobile toilet cabins shall be fewer than those specified in 5.1.3.
5.1.2 Supply and number of toilet cabins on construction site
The minimum installation of mobile toilet cabins, with a weekly on-site service frequency, shall be 1 toilet
cabin for every 7 workers, carrying out activities on the construction site.
On construction sites at ground level, the maximum distance between the workplace and the toilet cabin
shall not exceed 80 meters and shall be easily accessible to users.
On multi-level construction sites, toilet cabins shall be provided on every second floor. They shall have
lifting hooks for the crane, approved and homologate by the manufacturer of the hooks themselves.
This approval is understood for the lifting of the toilet cabin with the initial load and full hand wash and
at the moment of the lowering of the toilet cabin with the full load of waste water.
All toilet cabins should be equipped with a method of hand washing, as an extra product, either with a
disinfectant solution dispenser or with extras such as stand-alone hand washing facilities outside and/or
in combination with hand washing units inside, to facilitate a total hygiene, disinfection and comfort.
Mobile toilet cabins shall be placed throughout the construction site, depending on the characteristics
and peculiarities of each construction site, in such a way as to facilitate the pumping service of the
cleaning vehicles.
The constructions site managers shall provide a correct location and an access for the mobile toilet cabins
in order to be sure to grant access for its on-site service and the distance from the service vehicle to the
mobile toilet cabin shall not exceed 10 meters when possible.
5.1.3 Ratios (number of worker/toilet cabins)
The number of toilet cabins shall be calculated on the basis of the following ratios:
— Ratio 1, i.e. 1 toilet cabin / 7 workers with 1 on-site service per week (see Table 1 and Table B.1);
— Ratio 2, i.e. 1 toilet cabin / 14 workers with 2 on-site services per week (see Table 1 and Table B.2);
— Ratio 3, i.e. 1 toilet cabin / 22 workers with 3 on-site services per week (see Table 1 and Table B.3);
— Ratio 4, i.e. 1 toilet cabin / 7 workers with 3 on-site services per week with 3 shifts per day (see
Table 2 and Table B.4).

5.2.2 General conditions
This document sets out key areas of consideration for organizers of public or private events, recreational
activities, music festivals and concerts. It aims to help them and the public and private sector stakeholders
to adopt an approach tailored to the true dimension of these events.
Poor management of mobile toilet cabins can be a source of complaint among attendees and can cause a
negative experience for the audience. This impression on the part of the audience is mainly due to long
queues or the dirt and odours that are generated.
Mobile toilet cabins are highly recommended whenever these events are held in an open-air space
(private or public) and require the assembly and dismantling of temporary facilities for the development
and holding of the event.
They are also recommended in enclosed areas where existing sanitary facilities are considered
inadequate, as an addition to fixed toilet cabin facilities.
Events shall not begin without having previously solved, by means of portable, fixed or temporary
sanitation facilities, the aforementioned conditions of sanitation, safety, health and hygiene and comfort
at the events, in accordance with their specific regulations. In any case, the installation of mobile
sanitation facilities shall be documented, their quantity and location shall be established in the technical
document of the event.
All the toilet cabins may include a urinal.
If the percentage of female audience exceeds 50 % of the total capacity, then the number of mobile toilet
cabins has to be increased by +15 %.
In no case shall there be fewer mobile toilet cabins than those specified in 5.2.4.
For events lasting up to 6 h or 12 h duration without food or beverage service, the number of toilet cabins
shall be calculated on the basis of the following ratios:
— Ratio 1, i.e. 1 toilet cabin/65 users every 6 h (see Table 4 and Table C.1);
— Ratio 1, i.e. 1 toilet cabin/35 users every 12 h (see Table 4 and Table C.1).
For events lasting up to 6 h or 12 h in duration with food or beverage service, the number of toilet cabins
shall be calculated on the basis of the following ratios:
— Ratio 1, i.e. 1 toilet cabin /52 users every 6 h (see Table 4 and see Table C.2);
— Ratio 1, i.e. 1 toilet cabin/30 users every 12 h (see Table 4 and see Table C.2).
Table 4 — Number of toilet cabins for users in function of the duration of the event and the food
and beverage service
Food and beverage Duration of the event Number of toilets Users
served
No 6 h 1 65
No 12 h 1 35
Yes 6 h 1 52
Yes 12 h 1 30
For public or private events, recreational activities, music festivals and / or concerts that have or offer
camping services, the ratios shall be:
— 1 toilet cabin for every 31 persons attending the same, with a mobile toilet cabin capacity of no more
than 100 uses between 2 on-site services spaced 12 h apart each.
— 1 shower for every 32 persons per point and these shall be divided at least 50/50 between hot/cold
showers.
— 1 water point for every 32 persons and shall be connected to the authorized water points on the site.
Standard/regular cleaning of the mobile toilet cabins and their respective equipment and facilities shall
be maintained in a proper hygienic condition; to this end, the client contractor/developer shall be
responsible for cleaning them periodically and whenever necessary to maintain them in a proper hygienic
condition at all times and in a satisfactory state of sanitation.
All public or private events, recreational activities, music festivals / concerts, which have or offer
camping, shall have mobile toilet cabins, as well as hot/cold showers and running water points for
persons with reduced mobility.
All toilet cabins should be equipped with internal self-contained hand washing facilities and/or have a
method of hand cleaning, either by means of a hand sanitizing solution and dispenser within the unit or
by providing hand washing stations external to facilitate total hygiene, disinfection and comfort.
The organizers of local and/or patron saint festivals, open-air festivals and fairgrounds (managed by
municipal, regional or state entities) festivals, concerts and events in general (whether they are natural
or legal persons, public or private) that carry out or promote public shows or recreational activities
(whether for profit or not) shall be considered initial waste producers of wastewater and, therefore,
responsible for the management of the waste produced at these celebrations and events when using the
portable sanitation cabins.
This responsibility shall include, among other things, the acceptance of the waste generated and the waste

of their waste accepted or refused, which shall be borne by the original producer of the waste.
Portable sanitation operators shall be responsible for the collection and transport of waste water from
the portable sanitation toilet cabins to the discharge point authorized in each case by the operator of the
public sewerage system, sewerage network, collectors or waste water treatment plants .
5.2.3 Provision at events
Mobile toilet cabins should be positioned so as to facilitate access to them, well signposted, close to hand-
washing points, well lit (including the surrounding area) if night-time use is envisaged. The more
accessible the facilities are, the more likely they can be used and the less queuing occurs.
Event attendees should always have the opportunity to use the toilet cabin when they need to, not just
when they are on break. This will help reduce the incidence of attendees or the general public relieving
themselves elsewhere (such as in the corners of the venue).
Toilet cabins can partially be replaced by urinals for male or female users. The quantities shall be specify

NOTE To speed up the long queues inside festivals/concerts and to manage the mobile toilet cabins area more

help to keep the portable toilets cleaner.
The number of toilet cabins provided with tanks shall not be less than 50 % of the total number of toilet
cabins indicated in this document for each gender (male/female).
All these types of events shall have mobile wheelchair accessible toilet cabins for people with reduced
mobility, in the appropriate proportion according to the capacity of the event.

up to a capacity of 500 persons.
From 500 peoples up to 5 000 peoples, the event shall have 1 extra wheelchair accessible toilet cabin for
persons with reduced mobility for each fraction of 500 spectators.
From 5 000 peoples the event shall have 1 extra wheelchair accessible toilet cabin for each fraction of
3 000 peoples.
Likewise, access to the wheelchair accessible toilet cabin for persons with reduced mobility shall be free
of kerbs, avoiding soft ground and other obstacles, which guarantee non-discriminatory use and the
autonomous and continuous circulation of all persons.
5.2.4 Ratios (toilet cabins / number of users)
