A number of PSE Supplier Members manufacture and/or supply all types of portable toilet units, urinals, trailer mounted mobile toilets, welfare units, jack leg toilets and shower blocks in the UK, Ireland the EU and to other parts of the world. In addition, there are a number of Supplier Members that are specialist providers of a variety of toilet additives and deodorizers.

Operator Members of PSE provide all types of portable toilet and sanitation units to both the construction and event industries in virtually any part of the UK and Ireland. All units supplied by members of PSE are of top quality and in addition the quality of the back-up service provided is the best available.

PSE and its members actively promote ‘Best Practice’ throughout the portable sanitation industry and in order to support this policy PSE has instigated a three-stage Quality Assessment scheme which has ensured that standards have been dramatically raised over the last eight years. The initial Bronze Assessment stage was followed three years later by a Silver Assessment process and these have now been superseded by the Gold Award process, full details of which are included in the Gold Award section of this website.

Health and Safety Legislation in the UK is of major importance to the portable toilet and sanitation industry and PSE members play their part is ensuring that legislation is adhered to. PSE Members fully comply with all current British legislation and PSE has recently established good contacts with HSE and has even advised HSE on various aspects of H&S legislation.

For many years, the portable toilet industry has operated in the construction industry applying ratio of one toilet for every ten site workers. This has now been changed by the introduction of a new British Standard after co-operation from a member of PSE’s Council of Management.

The UK event industry is governed by adherence to The Event Safety Guide (The Purple Book) which after a number of years is currently under review. PSE has already re-written Chapter 14, the Sanitation section of the guide, and the revised guide should be published in late 2009 or 2010. In the meantime, there is a toilet calculator for event sanitation contained within this website – please access this document for more information.

PSE and its members have been recognized by many local and national organisations as being the leaders in portable toilet and sanitation provision, and the level of this recognition will continue to increase as the association grows still further
