Commercial Builder Fined over Toilets at Construction Site
September 26th, 2010 by adminGeneral contractor, M.A. Mortenson Co, was fined $750 on August 24 for not performing maintenance on the toilets at the construction site for the new tower at Central Washington Hospital.
The State Department of Labor and Industries fine came about due to a filing on June 22 from 90 union workers that walked off their job after complaining the porta potties on site were dirty. The workers returned the very next day after the portable toilets were cleaned up and new portable toilets were added to the construction site.
The notice stated, “The employer did not ensure that toilets were maintained in a clean and sanitary condition and sufficiently supplied with toilet tissue and sanitary seat covers. This exposed both their direct employees and the employees of the subcontractors on site to the potential for gastrointestinal illnesses that may require treatment but that would not likely result in permanent impairment. This violation was corrected during the inspection.”
Well, if this construction company had been using luxury portable restrooms from VIP To Go this never would have occurred. The majority of these portable restroom trailers offer city water and sewer hook up which would certainly have helped with the mess and odor. Of course, the construction would still have to add a few necessities, but they would not have minded as much as it would have been nothing more than like cleaning their own bathroom at home.
VIP To Go restroom and shower trailers are top of the line, elegant, and practically self-sufficient and will certainly give employees something to talk about and in a good way. All have sinks, men’s side, women’s side, and are clean, modern, and some even supply music. Now, that would be a porta potty anyone could love.
