Portable Restrooms for Crew & Remote Units

Handwashing & Hygiene for Production
On-set hygiene is critical, especially around food service, craft services, and makeup.

How Many Restrooms for a Shoot?
A simple starting point is:
- 1 restroom per 10–15 crew at base camp
- Add a trailer when you want a more polished experience for talent or clients
- Use portable restrooms for remote units, stunts, or satellite locations
