Keep Your Site Clean and Compliant: Kelm Hire’s Portable Toilets & On-Site Support

img 1724

Construction projects and outdoor events often span weeks or even months, requiring not just the right equipment, but proper sanitation facilities. Maintaining hygiene on-site is crucial to preventing health hazards, avoiding work stoppages, and ensuring regulatory compliance. 

Kelm Hire understands the significance of providing clean, safe, and compliant facilities, and we offer a range of portable toilet solutions, paired with dedicated on-site support. Here’s how our services keep your site hygienic and running smoothly.

 

The Importance of On-Site Hygiene

Site hygiene is more than just an operational concern—it’s a matter of health and safety. Without proper sanitation, worksites can quickly become breeding grounds for bacteria, illness, and cross-contamination. In construction, these risks can lead to regulatory fines or even worksite shutdowns, severely impacting productivity.

At events, particularly large outdoor gatherings, insufficient sanitation can result in unhappy attendees and potential reputational damage. By ensuring access to clean, well-maintained portable toilets, you keep both your workforce and visitors safe, comfortable, and compliant with health regulations.

 

Benefits of Portable Toilets On-Site

Having portable toilets on-site offers several immediate benefits:

  1. Convenience: Portable toilets are flexible, allowing placement almost anywhere on-site. This is crucial when facilities need to be near workers, minimising time spent away from tasks.
  2. Compliance: Health and safety regulations often require a specific number of toilets based on the size of the workforce or the number of attendees at an event. On a construction site, for anything over ten employees, you’re required to have at least two toilets. Requirements for events vary depending on its duration and the number of attendees, but for anything over 100 attendees, you’ll need at least three. 
  3. Cost-Efficiency: Renting portable toilets is more cost-effective than constructing permanent facilities, especially for temporary worksites and events.
  4. Environmental Impact: Many of our toilets, such as plumbable/sewer connect toilets, reduce the need for pump-outs, minimising environmental impact and waste management costs.
  5. Flexibility: From chemical toilets to toilet trailers, Kelm Hire offers a variety of solutions that suit different project sizes and scopes, with the ability to move units between sites.

 

Kelm Hire’s Portable On-Site Support Services

When it comes to portable toilets, Kelm Hire goes beyond simply providing the equipment. We understand that maintaining hygiene is an ongoing responsibility, and our comprehensive support services are designed to keep your toilets functional, clean, and compliant.

Our offerings include:

  • 24/7 Toilet Pump Out Service: No one wants to deal with overflowing toilets, and further than just being unpleasant, they can be a hazard that causes site shutdowns, leading to downtime and costing you money. Our team is on hand for reactive pump-outs on the same day you call. We can also schedule regular pump-out services—weekly or monthly—depending on your needs.
  • Plumbable/Sewer Connect Toilets: For more permanent installations on construction sites, our sewer-connect toilets can be plumbed into existing systems, removing the need for frequent pump-outs and reducing maintenance costs.
  • Fast Delivery: We pride ourselves on our responsive service, offering same-day delivery and setup, ensuring that sanitation facilities are in place as soon as you need them.

 

Maintenance Tips

Maintaining your portable toilets doesn’t have to be a challenge. Here are some simple tips to keep your units in top condition:

  • Regular Cleaning: Use mild disinfectants to clean the inside of the toilet daily, especially areas that are frequently touched, such as seats and handles.
  • Check for Wear and Tear: Regularly inspect the unit for any signs of damage, particularly leaks or cracks. Prompt repairs can prevent larger issues down the line.
  • Stock Supplies: Make sure the toilet is always stocked with essentials like toilet paper, hand sanitiser, and any additional cleaning agents.
  • Regular Pump-Outs: Scheduling regular waste removal services ensures that toilets remain functional, hygienic, and pleasant to use.

 

Portable Toilets for Events & Festivals

While construction sites are a common setting for portable toilets, they are equally vital for events and festivals. Kelm Hire offers a range of flexible toilet solutions that cater to large crowds, ensuring comfort and hygiene throughout the event.

  • Chemical Toilets: Ideal for events, these toilets can be placed anywhere and do not require a water connection, making them highly adaptable.
  • Toilet Trailers: For maximum flexibility, consider our trailer-mounted toilets, which can be towed and moved as needed, providing portable sanitation that adapts to your requirements.

FAQs

Here are some of the FAQs about straight boom lift hire and knuckle boom lift hire often asked by Kelm Hire customers.

Maintaining a portable toilet requires regular cleaning with disinfectants, ensuring adequate stock of essentials like toilet paper and hand sanitiser, and scheduling timely pump-outs to manage waste.

Kelm Hire provides a dedicated pump-out service to manage waste. This can be done on the same day of your call or through a scheduled cycle of weekly or monthly pump-outs, ensuring hygienic waste removal and preventing overflows.

The frequency of pump-outs depends on usage. For high-traffic sites, weekly pump-outs are recommended, but less frequent use may only require monthly servicing. Kelm Hire can assess your needs and provide a tailored schedule.
