When you need handwashing stations
- Events with food or drinks. Strongly recommended, and often required by vendors or venues
- Construction sites. OSHA requires adequate washing facilities for workers applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, or doing other work with harmful contaminants
- Farms and ag operations during harvest or events
- Any site where hand sanitizer alone isn't enough
How many stations?
A common guideline is one handwashing station for every ten portable toilets, with at least one wherever food is served. Large events often place stations near food areas as well as next to restrooms.
