Tennessee Conditions That Matter for Job Sites

Across the 114 Tennessee places listed here (NOAA 1991–2020 normals by nearest station, ACS 2020–2024):

• 45 of 89 listed places have more housing built since 2010 than the U.S. 11.4% (ACS)
• None of the 114 listed places average 120+ freezing nights a year
• None of the 27 places with snowfall data average 20+ inches of snow

More than half of listed places have an above-U.S. share of recent housing; the figure describes the housing stock, but it points to subdivision-scale job sites where OSHA headcounts add up quickly.

Range Across the State

Across the 89 listed Tennessee places with this figure (ACS 2020–2024), the low end is about 0.0% of housing units built 2010 or later (Bolivar) and the high end about 46.9% (Spring Hill); the middle place is near 11.6%.

By Climate Region

All listed Tennessee places with a climate-region assignment fall in one DOE Building America region, Mixed-Humid (114 places): summer servicing and winter freeze protection.

Federal OSHA or State Plan

Tennessee runs an OSHA-approved State Plan, Tennessee OSHA (TOSHA), Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development, that covers most private-sector workers as well as state and local government workers (osha.gov State Plans, accessed 2026-10-13). State Plans must be at least as effective as federal OSHA, so check the State Plan's construction sanitation rule alongside 29 CFR 1926.51. osha.gov lists some coverage exclusions for this plan; the State Plan page shows which work they affect.

The federal minimum, OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51(c)(1):

Worked examples: 15 workers need 1 toilet; 45 workers need 2 toilet seats and 2 urinals (45 ÷ 40 rounded up); 210 workers need 5 seats and 5 urinals (210 ÷ 50 rounded up).

Who Handles Local Rules

For a unit placed in the street, on a sidewalk or in another public right-of-way next to the job site, the government to ask depends on where the site is. Of the 114 listed Tennessee places, 103 are incorporated, 11 are unincorporated Census-designated places. In an incorporated place, ask the city, town, village or borough; in an unincorporated community, ask the county. We don't say whether a permit is needed; each city page names who to ask.
