Beat the Summer Heat – Ensuring Employee Satisfaction with Effective Site Services
As the warm weather arrives and temperatures rise, maintaining your portable restrooms is crucial for overall Site Services effectiveness. Ensuring they stay fresh, clean, and functional not only enhances comfort and hygiene but also ensures your site remains compliant with health and safety regulations. Prioritizing restroom servicing is key to achieving these goals.
The Impact of Heat on Bacteria Growth
Studies show that bacteria such as *E. coli*, *Pseudomonas aeruginosa*, *E. cloacae*, and *Acinetobacter baumannii* can increase by up to 17% with every 10-degree rise in seasonal temperature. Bacterial illnesses might be up to 46% higher during summer compared to colder months. To prevent an increase in bacteria, here are some tips for maintaining your portable restrooms during the summer months:
Portable Restrooms
Increase Cleaning Frequency
The insides of portable restrooms can become significantly hotter than outside temperatures. It is essential to clean portable restrooms more frequently in hot weather to prevent odor and bacterial buildup. Many customers choose twice-weekly servicing to maintain optimal conditions.
Porta Potty Placement
Location is crucial in keeping the interior of a portable restroom cool. Place your portable restrooms on flat ground in areas that have natural shade or breezes to help maintain a lower interior temperature.
Restroom Trailers
Trailer Upgrade
Consider upgrading to restroom trailers, which offer additional amenities to keep your workers cool. These trailers come equipped with climate-controlled interiors and running water, providing a more comfortable and sanitary experience.
Hand Hygiene Solutions
Promote Clean Hands
Don’t forget to add hand washing sinks or hand sanitizer stations to promote clean hands among your employees. Proper hand hygiene is essential for preventing the spread of bacteria and maintaining a healthy work environment.
