A handwash station is a freestanding unit with a water tank, soap, a way to dry hands and a tank that collects used water. It sits beside a toilet cluster or along a work route. Water supply and used-water removal are what the crew checks on every visit.
A handwash station is a freestanding unit with a potable water tank, a tap or pump, soap, a way to dry hands and a tank that collects used water. It does not replace a toilet. It gives people a place to wash after the toilet, before food and at the end of a shift.
Phones are answered 24/7. Call (888) 351-0294 to describe the site, the crew size or guest count, and the work. The provider can set a handwash station beside a toilet cluster or on a separate route, and the placement is agreed on the call. No arrival time is promised on this page.
Federal rules for construction sites require washing facilities as part of the sanitation plan. The exact ratio of washing stations to toilets is not set out here, so plan the count with the crew and the site manager. The construction site toilet page covers the toilet count that goes alongside the stations.
Water and heat shape a handwash station more than the toilet beside it. Water in a tank can warm in the sun, and the used-water tank fills faster in a crowd on a hot day. The 1991 to 2020 normal July average high is 91.9 degrees Fahrenheit, and that is why the crew's visits are planned more often in the summer months.
Do not connect a station's tank to a home supply or a hydrant without the provider's agreement, and do not pour used water or cleaning chemicals on the ground or into a storm drain. Keep the station level and out of the traffic path, and report a leak or a tank that will not fill to the crew as soon as you see it.
Start with how many people will wash their hands at the station and where the work or event happens. A job site with a crew of a dozen needs a different count from a festival with a food area. Give the provider the count and the setting on the call. The number to call is (888) 351-0294.
The station goes where people already walk: beside the toilet cluster, at the exit from the work area or at the edge of the food area. It should be easy to reach without crossing a traffic lane, and it should sit on firm, level ground the crew can reach with a truck.
The technician fills the potable water tank, checks the tap or pump, confirms the soap and drying method are in place, and runs a test cycle before the station is left. The used-water tank is checked to be empty and clear of any residue from the last use.
The crew sets the visit plan from the number of users and the heat. Water is topped up and used water is removed on the schedule, and a station that runs dry or overflows is a station the crew needs to revisit sooner. Heat and crowd size both change the plan, so the schedule is reviewed when either changes.
When the work or event ends, the crew empties the used-water tank, removes any remaining water, and takes the station away. The ground is checked for spills and ruts before the truck leaves, and the spot is handed back as it was, as far as the ground allows.
Federal construction rules require washing facilities as part of the sanitation plan, alongside the toilet count. A station is a common way to meet that for crews working away from a building.
The construction standard in 29 CFR 1926.51 requires washing facilities as part of the sanitation provision on a job. A crew working far from a building needs a station near where it works, and the station carries its own water, so it needs no building connection.
The ratio of stations to toilets is not set out on this page. Plan it with the crew and the site manager, and check the count against the work that is actually happening on each phase of the job.
Close enough that a worker reaches it on the same route, and far enough from food and the toilet door to keep the area clean.
The station belongs on the route people already walk from the toilets back to the work area or the food. A station placed at the far end of a site, off the route, gets used less and can be missed by the crew on the walk. A station right against a toilet door creates a crowded spot that is hard to keep clean.
Place the station on firm, level ground, with clear space for the tap and the dispenser. On an event site the station is kept on the same accessible route as the toilets, so a person who uses a wheelchair can reach the tap.
Potable water, soap, a way to dry hands and a used-water tank. The crew checks each one on every visit.
The potable water tank is the first thing to check. A station that runs out of water is not a usable station, and the crew tops it up on the schedule. The used-water tank is the second. It must be emptied before it overflows, and the crew removes the used water when it is taken away.
Florida's rule on portable restrooms and holding tanks covers the liquid waste from portable hand-wash units, and the company that services them holds an annual operating permit under rule 62-6.0101. Ask the crew for proof of that permit when they arrive.
The number of stations, the length of the rental, water use, distance and the servicing schedule. No figure is given, and the price is explained and approved before work starts.
The number of stations is the first driver, and the rental length is the second, because a longer rental means more visits. Water use changes the number of top-ups, and a hot, crowded day means more of them. Distance and access add to the trip, and a station on a remote part of a site adds time to the route.
This site publishes no price and no range for any station. The provider gives the quote on the call, explains what moves it and waits for your approval before the station is delivered.
Warmer water, faster filling of the used-water tank and more frequent checks. Heat and crowd size set the visit plan together.
The used-water tank fills faster on a hot, busy day than on a cool, quiet one, and a station in full sun can warm the water in its tank. Both change how often the crew has to visit. A station in shade, or one that is moved into shade on a hot day, keeps the water usable for longer.
The crew sets the visit plan from the expected crowd and the forecast for the day, and the plan is adjusted if the crowd changes. Ask for the visits to be written on the booking, so the schedule is agreed before the station is set.
A crew working away from a building needs a station near its work area and along its route from the gate. A site with changing crews needs the station checked at each shift change, and the water supply is planned to cover the shift. Crews on a site with a toilet cluster use the station before they walk back to the toilets, so the two are placed together where the route allows.
A food or drink area at a festival needs a station between the food and the toilets, so people wash their hands before they eat. The used-water tank fills faster on a busy, hot day, and the crew's visit plan is built around the food peak. The station is kept off the main walking route and out of the way of vendor carts.
Handwash stations are most often placed with a toilet cluster at an event or on a site. The pair is placed on the same route, the same firm ground and the same accessible path as the toilets. The station is reached from the toilets without a step, and the crew checks the two on the same visit.
Jacksonville covers a wide area, from downtown and the river districts to the Westside, the Southside and the beaches. A station is used most when its water is kept on the truck route, and a crew walks farther to a station than to a toilet. Plan the station on the route the crew actually walks.
Heat is the local factor that affects handwash stations most. The 1991 to 2020 normal July average high is 91.9 degrees, and July 2025 averaged 94.8 degrees. In a Jacksonville summer, the water in a tank can warm and the used-water tank fills faster, so the crew's visits are planned for the heat rather than the calendar.
After a storm, cleanup crews work where the plumbing is out, and a handwash station is one of the first things they need. Hurricane Irma pushed water through downtown, San Marco and Riverside before dawn in September 2017, and Hurricane Matthew in October 2016 reached inland in Jacksonville Beach. A station on low ground in those areas is one to move or secure before a storm.

One standard unit for a Duval County job site, yard project or block party, set, serviced and picked up by a local provider.
Units placed within a short walk of the crew, counted against the OSHA table by headcount and serviced on a schedule that keeps them usable.
Festival and street-event units planned around crowd size, event length and the city's permit thresholds.
Single-occupant accessible cabins for events, job sites and home placements, with the cluster count and route planned on the call.
OSHA's construction toilet standard, 29 CFR 1926.51(c)(1), sets the minimum by crew size.
Summer is the hardest season for a portable toilet in Jacksonville.
No. A handwash station is in addition to toilets, and a site with a toilet count still needs its own count of toilets. The station gives people a place to wash after using the toilet, and it does not change the number of toilets required.
Usually not. A standard station is self-contained, with its own water, soap and used-water tank. If the site wants warm water, ask the provider whether the model has a heater, because that changes the setup and the power it needs.
Refilling and emptying depend on how many people use the station and how hot the day is. The crew sets the visit plan on the call, and you can ask them to adjust it as the crowd changes. No fixed interval is given on this page.
Only if the provider agrees and the water source has been approved for the purpose. The crew does the refill and the used-water removal on the schedule. Do not fill from a hydrant or a home line without that agreement.
On the same accessible route as the toilet cluster, on firm and level ground, with room for a wheelchair to reach the tap and the dispenser. The guidance cited for accessible toilets is about toilets, so check the station's reach on the walk-through.
Florida's rule on portable restrooms and holding tanks covers the liquid waste from portable hand-wash units. The company that services them holds an annual operating permit under rule 62-6.0101. Ask the crew for proof of that permit when they arrive.
