OSHA 1926.51(c)(1) sets the baseline: one toilet facility for 20 workers or fewer, then one toilet seat and one urinal per 40 workers up to 200, and one per 50 workers at 200 or more. A small residential renovation in Ocala might need just one standard porta potty. A commercial build with 80 workers needs at least three.
