British Columbia

Key bit:

On Wednesday, B.C. Building Trades launched its Get Flushed campaign, which aims to change provincial rules to force construction companies to provide either toilets and hand-washing facilities connected to sewer systems, or portable units with running water, on job sites with 25 or more workers.

Before the “25 or more workers” I had no clue how they could achieve this. But for 25 or more workers, it seems trivial to at a minimum bring in a shipping container kitted out with a water and sewage resevoir.

I’d argue that this should also be the case for any farm workers; no more chemical toilet in the far corner of a 10 acre field.

Hooked up to sewage? Good luck; only the largest sites would have access to a working sewage line and a permit to use it. In most cases, the job would be over before the permit came through, if there was anything to hook up to.
