Two Sink Configurations

Foot-Pump or Battery-Powered Handwashing Sink Models

Foot-pump hand washing stations draw from an internal freshwater reservoir, making them the standard choice for remote job sites without electrical access. Battery-powered sinks utilize 12-volt pumps for hands-free operation, which works better for events where users carry plates. The models detailed below cover these specific power requirements. Call (515) 200-1579.

Pairing Sanitation Stations with Restrooms

Effective placement requires positioning each sink one to two paces from the porta potty doorway on the same level pad. Our Des Moines weekly servicing route crew ensures the freshwater bladder is full and the ribbed HDPE panels are clean during every scheduled pump out of the restroom bank.

The sink-to-restroom ratio depends on the site type. A ten-worker crew typically lands one handwashing station per two portable restrooms under OSHA 1926.51. Food service runs heavier—health-code minimum requires a basin within twenty-five feet of every food prep area. See our event handwashing station rental for food vendors for compliant setups.

What inspectors look for

OSHA Hand-Hygiene Requirements on Worksites

Federal sanitation rules under OSHA 1926.51(c) require handwashing facilities to be readily available to all workers on industrial sites in Des Moines. Our crews verify that each station provides soap, single-use towels, and clean water. We usually place one unit for every twenty workers within twenty-five feet of the toilet bank.

Potable Water Supply

Each sink contains potable water from a freshwater bladder, refilled on every route service.

Soap and Single-Use Towels

Pump soap and paper towels are restocked at every service visit.

Adjacent to Restrooms

We place each wash unit beside the porta potty on a level pad to prevent bypass.

Documented Service Cadence

Refills and pump-outs are logged for OSHA walkthroughs.
