According to the American Disabilities Act, when large outdoor events are open to the public, a certain percentage of portable restrooms that are part of those outdoor events must cater to special-needs individuals who may have 1) mobile disabilities 2) ambulatory mobile disabilities 3) visual disabilities 4) hearing disabilities 5) cognitive disabilities and others. It's all about allowing everyone the opportunity to feel right at home with porta-potties that offer ease-of-accessibility and unencumbered maneuverability.
Porta-Potties for Individuals with Limitations
As a side-note, it should be pointed out that the term 'Wheelchair Accessible' is not synonymous with the term 'ADA Compliant'. The term 'wheelchair accessible', however, does fall under ADA guidelines. The term 'special needs' as it relates to porta-potties would include restrooms that deviate from standard facilities and services. With that being said, a wheelchair-accessible porta-potty must be ADA-compliant at large, public events and is usually a ramped or ground-level entrance designed with larger-than-usual interiors to not only accommodate a wheelchair but to, also, accommodate a 2nd individual who may need to assist an individual with special needs. The oversized interiors of wheelchair-accessible porta-potties offer flat-floor designs for easy wheel-chair access along with strategically-positioned grab rails that provide enhanced safety.
It was in1990 when the American Disabilities Act was enacted in order to protect the rights of all individuals with disabilities, both physical and mental. By law, all public special events must comply with ADA regulations and provide restrooms that meet specific ADA guidelines.
How Many Wheel-chair Accessible Porta-Potties Will You Need?
When planning an outdoor event, being familiar with the ADA guidelines is very important. For example, the ADA states that in each grouping of toilets,at least five percent of all portable restrooms utilized for asingle event must be wheelchair-accessible. This amounts to one ADA-compliant portable restroom for every20 standardportable restroomunits, in place.
Will your outdoor event be a music festival, a political rally, a sports tournament or other large gathering? Whatever the event's theme might be, getting the numbers right regarding ADA compliance is vital.
