FAQs About Hand Wash Stations
United Rentals offers a variety of hand wash stations for rent to improve the sanitation of your outdoor jobsite, event venue, catering event or disaster relief effort. We offer a variety of free-standing, self-contained portable hand-washing station rentals that you can rent along with portable restrooms to follow OSHA guidelines. Our portable one-station hand wash stations include paper towels, soap, hands-free foot pumps and water tanks to make hand-washing simple and sanitary for users. Additionally, we offer hand sanitizer stands for more efficient and waterless sanitization. For a more robust solution, choose our portable four-station sink pods that are equipped with hot water, paper towels and soap dispensers. We also offer porta potties with built-in sinks to make restroom visits a one-stop trip for event guests or work crews.

OSHA recommends one easily accessible hand wash station for every 20 employees or guests. If your jobsite has 11 or more hand laborers, OSHA requires you to have a hand wash station that includes running water, hand soap and towels, not just hand sanitizer.
Our portable one-station hand wash stations include hand soap and paper towels, as well as water tanks for both fresh water and wastewater, so no additional supplies are needed. Our portable four-station sink pods include hand soap, paper towels, water heaters and wastewater tanks, but they require both a power and water source. These sink pods can be powered by a 110-volt electrical plug-in, solar power or propane, and they require a water supply by an onboard tank or garden hose.
Hand wash stations must be easily accessible and conveniently located for your workers and guests. We recommend you place them close to your portable restrooms so users can quickly wash their hands after using the restroom.
