Beat the Heat: Why BRIEF RELIEF Is a Must-Have for Summer Construction Crews

Summer Construction’s Hidden Problem
Every summer, job sites ramp up—more hours, more workers, more productivity… and more logistical problems. One issue that often flies under the radar? Sanitation.

When the nearest porta-potty is a five-minute walk—or worse, there isn’t one at all—time (and productivity) takes a hit. That’s where BRIEF RELIEF comes in. Designed specifically for industrial and field work, BRIEF RELIEF’s portable bathroom kits and urinal bags offer a safe, sanitary, and OSHA-compliant solution right on the jobsite.

The Problem with Traditional Solutions
Most job sites use porta-potties—but they:

• Get hot and unsanitary fast during summer
• Often need to be placed far from where crews are working
• Require rental and maintenance costs
• Lead to downtime (walking, waiting, cleaning hands, returning)

Multiply that by 20+ workers several times a day, and you’re looking at lost hours and money.

BRIEF RELIEF: Built for Industrial Use

BRIEF RELIEF products are made to work where you do. Their disposable urinal and solid waste bags are:

• Puncture- and leak-proof
• Gel-based for odor and bacteria control
• Safe to dispose in any trash receptacle
• Used by the U.S. Military and disaster relief teams

Products like the Liquid Waste Bag (BR608) and Disposa-John (BR500) make it easy for workers to take care of business quickly, safely, and hygienically—without leaving the job site.

Real ROI: Productivity and Compliance

Using BRIEF RELIEF products isn’t just a convenience—it’s a cost-saving tool.

Here’s how:

• Less downtime from bathroom trips
• Fewer health complaints (thanks to better sanitation)
• OSHA-compliant sanitation for field crews
• Lower sanitation costs vs. daily porta-potty rentals

“It saves us about 10–15 minutes per worker per shift,” says a construction manager in Texas. “Multiply that by 50 people and it adds up.”

Summer-Specific Perks

During summer:

High temps make enclosed porta-potties unbearable

Workers may skip hydration to avoid bathroom trips

Heat exhaustion risk increases

With BRIEF RELIEF, workers don’t have to choose between staying hydrated and staying comfortable.

What’s in a BRIEF RELIEF Kit?

Each WAG Bag® or urinal bag includes:

Eco-safe gel that solidifies and deodorizes waste

Sealing zip-top outer bag

Optional toilet paper and hand sanitizer wipe

They’re compact, easy to store in work trucks or toolboxes, and ready when needed.

Final Word

This summer, don’t let poor sanitation slow your crew down. BRIEF RELIEF makes staying compliant, clean, and efficient easy, no matter how remote the worksite.

Be prepared. Be productive. Stay brief.
