What is in a portable handwashing station?
A portable handwashing station has two sinks on opposite sides, each with a foot pump for water, a soap dispenser and a paper towel holder. A freshwater tank sits on top and a gray-water tank sits below, so a handwashing station needs no hose or outlet.

| Capacity | Several hundred hand washes per fill, by manufacturer ratings |

About these specs: sizes are typical for this class of unit. Exact models vary by fleet; ask for the spec sheet of the unit going to your site if a tight gate or a permit form needs exact numbers.
When is a handwashing station required?
A handwashing station is required on farms, with 1 handwashing facility per 20 field workers under OSHA 29 CFR 1928.110, and on construction sites where workers handle paints, coatings or other harmful materials under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51(f). Food booths at events often need one under health rules.
Read OSHA 1928.110. Confirm food-event rules with the New Mexico Environment Department or your event organizer. Our recommendation: 1 handwashing station per 4 toilets whenever food is served.
Should I rent a station or a unit with a sink?
Rent a handwashing station when more than one toilet is on site or food is served, because it serves two people at once and is shared by every unit. Rent a deluxe unit with an inside sink when there is only one restroom and guests expect a sink in it.
Compare deluxe flushing units or pair a station with standard porta potties.
How much does a handwashing station cost?
A handwashing station starts at about $175 for an event, delivered with water, soap and paper towels. On 28-day jobsite rentals, the station is refilled and restocked on each weekly service visit. Stations going to the same address as your porta potties share one delivery fee.
Handwashing station: questions renters ask
Can I refill the handwashing station myself?
A garden hose can top up the freshwater tank if it runs low between visits. Never pour anything else into the tank.
Do handwashing stations freeze in winter?
Handwashing stations can freeze at mountain sites like Cloudcroft and Ruidoso. Through the coldest months, hand sanitizer is used instead or the station is placed somewhere sheltered.
Is the water drinkable?
The water is fresh but is not meant for drinking. Supply bottled water separately.
Can a handwashing station go on grass?
A handwashing station can go on firm, level grass. Expect a little splash around it, so keep it off delicate lawns and away from doorways.
