Michigan Residential Builders License Practice Test

What must be available on new construction sites for everyone onsite?

1. First aid kit

2. Toilet facilities

3. Office trailers

4. Parking spaces

The correct answer is: Toilet facilities

The reason toilet facilities must be available on new construction sites is fundamentally tied to health and safety regulations. When workers and other individuals are present on a job site, it is essential to provide adequate sanitation facilities to promote hygiene and prevent health issues. Availability of toilet facilities also encourages workers to take necessary breaks without having to leave the site, which can improve productivity and contribute to a safer work environment. In many building codes and occupational safety regulations, specifically those governed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), it is mandated that adequate toilet facilities must be accessible for all workers. This requirement ensures that all individuals on-site can maintain proper sanitation practices, thus reducing the risk of potential illness or other health-related problems that could arise from lack of access to such facilities. While other elements such as first aid kits, office trailers, and parking spaces are relevant to construction sites, they do not have the same regulatory necessity as toilet facilities do in ensuring the well-being and basic needs of all individuals present.
