Frequently asked questions
Are handwash stations required on construction sites?
OSHA 1926.51(f)(3) requires lavatories with running water, soap and towels on construction sites, except for mobile crews or normally unattended sites with transport to nearby washing facilities. A handwash station is the usual way to meet it.
How many handwash stations do I need for an event?
A common planning figure is about one station for every 10 toilets, more where food is served. Units with built-in sinks reduce the number you need.
