Portable Hand Wash Stations

Hand hygiene is a non-negotiable part of any job site, food event, or public gathering, and a portable hand wash station is the simplest way to deliver real running water, soap, and paper towels anywhere you need them — no plumbing hookup required. New Britain Portable Sanitation Group stocks single, double, and quad-basin stations to match everything from a small residential job site to a busy weekend festival.

Construction crews are our most frequent customers for hand wash stations, and for good reason: OSHA sanitation standards expect employers to provide hand-washing facilities where workers may be exposed to hazardous materials, and many general contractors now include a hand wash station as a standard part of every site setup alongside portable toilets. Placing a station near the site entrance, break area, or food storage area keeps crews compliant and healthy through long, physical workdays.

Food trucks, concession stands, and farmers market vendors have an even more direct need. Connecticut health departments frequently require accessible hand-washing facilities within a set distance of any food preparation or serving area, and failing to provide one can mean a failed inspection or a shut-down booth. Our stations are sized and designed to meet those expectations, with foot-pump operation that avoids the cross-contamination risk of a hand-operated faucet.

The foot-pump mechanism is a detail worth calling out specifically: users step on a pedal to release water rather than touching a handle, which means hands that are already dirty never need to touch a shared surface to get clean. Paired with a soap dispenser and paper towel holder built directly into the unit, the entire hand-washing process happens without a single point of contact besides the pump itself.

Because our hand wash stations are fully self-contained — with an internal freshwater supply tank and a separate greywater tank to catch used water — they can be placed virtually anywhere on a property or job site without needing to be near a spigot or drain. That flexibility matters enormously for outdoor events, rural job sites, and any location where running a hose or plumbing line simply is not practical.

Schools, camps, and youth sports organizations across New Britain frequently rent hand wash stations for outdoor events, field days, and tournaments, both to meet public health expectations and to give parents peace of mind. A visible, well-stocked hand-washing station signals that an event organizer is taking hygiene seriously, which matters more to families now than it did a decade ago.

Sizing is straightforward: a single-basin station comfortably serves smaller crews or short events, while double and quad-basin units reduce wait times for larger festivals, multi-day construction projects, or high-traffic vendor areas. If you are unsure which size fits your event, describe your expected headcount and event length and our team will recommend the right configuration — often paired directly with your portable toilet or restroom trailer order.

Servicing follows the same reliable schedule as the rest of our fleet: we refill the freshwater tank, empty the greywater tank, restock soap and paper towels, and wipe down the exterior on every scheduled visit. For multi-day events we can schedule a mid-event top-off so stations never run dry during peak hours.
