What is a portable hand washing station?
A portable hand washing station is a freestanding sink unit with its own fresh water tank, a gray water tank, foot pumps, soap and paper towel dispensers. A portable hand washing station needs no plumbing or power, so it can sit beside porta potties, food lines, barns or a jobsite trailer.
When do you need a hand washing station?
You need a hand washing station whenever food is served, when standard porta potties are the only toilets, and on jobsites where workers handle concrete, chemicals or lead. OSHA 1926.51(f) requires washing facilities where construction work exposes workers to harmful contaminants. Farms follow OSHA 1928.110.
Official text: OSHA 29 CFR 1926.51 · OSHA 29 CFR 1928.110 (field sanitation). General information, not legal advice.
| Setting | Our recommendation |
|---|---|

How many hand washes does one station handle?
One two-sided hand washing station serves 2 people at a time and handles a full day of a busy event or a week of a small crew between services. Busy food events drain water faster. Ask for a mid-event refill when more than 200 guests will wash at the same stations.
Hand washing station questions
Do hand wash stations need a water hookup?
Hand wash stations need no hookup. Each station carries fresh water in its tank and catches used water in a separate tank. We refill and empty both at service visits.
Can I rent a hand wash station without a porta potty?
Stations rent on their own. Food trucks, farm stands, schools, nursing homes and businesses with a plumbing outage rent stations alone.
Is a hand wash station cheaper than a deluxe unit with a sink?
One deluxe unit with a sink can cost less than a standard unit plus a separate station when you only need one toilet. With several toilets, one station shared by 4 units usually costs less. Ask us to quote both.
Where should the hand wash station go?
Put the station on level ground beside the porta potties or near the food line, with a clear path for two people. Keep it out of the main walkway so the wet ground around it does not get trampled.
