What comes with a porta potty hand sanitizer station?
A standard unit is a freestanding dispenser stand with a refillable reservoir, usually placed next to your standard porta potty rental or clustered near a restroom trailer rental entrance. Huntsville Porta Pros handles the porta potty hand sanitizer refill on the same visit as your toilet service, so you are not scheduling a second truck. Note that hand sanitizer is a supplement, not a substitute: 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires washing facilities to be stocked with soap and towels or a hand-drying device, because sanitizer alone does not satisfy that standard. That is why most Huntsville contractors also add a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental alongside the sanitizer stand, especially on food-service or medical jobs. If your crew is applying paints, coatings or pesticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires actual washing facilities for that contaminant exposure, not just a sanitizer pump. We deliver across Huntsville and out to job sites near Redstone Arsenal, about 2.4 miles southeast of downtown.
How many stations do I need for my Huntsville site or event?
One station per 50 to 75 guests is a workable starting point, though tight layouts or long lines call for more. Pair the count with your toilet math from our how many porta potties do I need guide, since OSHA 1926.51(c) sets toilet ratios by crew size on construction sites: one facility for 20 workers or fewer, then additional fixtures as headcount climbs past 20. Events at outdoor venues in Huntsville often mirror that spacing for sanitizer stands, placing one near each restroom cluster and one near food service. If you are staffing a wedding, check our wedding restroom rental page for combined restroom-and-sanitizer packages, and festival organizers should see festival restroom rental for higher-volume layouts. Farms and agricultural operations fall under a different rule: OSHA 1928.110 requires potable water, toilets and handwashing within a quarter mile of hand-labor employees, one facility per 20 workers, which our farm and agricultural restrooms page covers in more detail.
Where should sanitizer stations be placed on site?
Put them at entrances, exits and anywhere food gets handled, matching the placement logic in our porta potty placement guide. Ground surfaces should stay stable and slip resistant under ADA Standards 302.1, which matters for stations set near an ADA accessible porta potty unit. Keep a 36 inch clear path per ADA Standards 403.5.1 so wheelchair users can reach both the toilet and the sanitizer stand without obstruction. For construction sites, coordinate placement with your temporary fence rental layout and any light tower rental equipment so nothing blocks the walkway. Huntsville event venues sometimes require confirming placement in a public right of way with the city directly, since that is not something we can state without checking first.
Do I need a separate delivery fee for sanitizer stations?
Usually it rides on the same delivery as your toilets or trailer, so you avoid a second trip charge. If you are ordering sanitizer stands as a standalone item for a small office or retail space, ask about combining with a portable restroom rental order to spread the delivery cost.
Can I get sanitizer stations without renting porta potties?
Yes, standalone stations are available for offices, storefronts and small events. Most customers still pair them with a porta john rental or a deluxe flushable porta potty for larger gatherings.
How often do stations get refilled?
Refills happen on your regular service visit, similar to the weekly baseline described in ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 for standard toilet servicing. Ask about a faster interval if your event runs high traffic over a weekend.
Are sanitizer stations required by OSHA?
No, OSHA does not mandate sanitizer stands specifically. What it requires is real washing facilities under 1926.51(f)(1) for paint, coating or pesticide work, and general toilet access under 1926.51(c).
What is the cost to add a station to my order?
Cost depends on unit count and rental length. Check porta potty rental cost or monthly porta potty rental for base toilet pricing, then ask us to bundle the sanitizer add-on with your quote through request a quote.
