What Comes With a Hand Sanitizer Station?
Every unit is a stand-alone pump dispenser on a frame, sized for foot traffic near your portable toilet rental cluster or a run of temporary fence rental at a work zone entrance. It is not a plumbed fixture. Hand sanitizer does not satisfy OSHA's washing facility rule, 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which calls for soap and towels or a hand-drying device where washing is required. That standard matters for general industry workplaces; construction crews fall under the toilet ratios in OSHA 1926.51(c)(1). If your site involves paint, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities, not just sanitizer. We pair stations with a handwashing station rental or a portable sink rental whenever that rule applies. For events without that exposure, a sanitizer dispenser alone often covers the gap between restroom visits. Ask us about handwashing requirements before you finalize your Salt Lake City layout, especially if a health inspector or safety officer will walk the site.
Where Should Stations Go on a Salt Lake City Site?
Set them at entry points, food areas and next to your standard porta potty rental or ada accessible porta potty bank, since people wash right after they exit. ADA Standards section 302.1 requires stable, firm, slip-resistant ground surfaces, so avoid loose gravel or soft turf under the base. Section 308.2.1 caps a forward reach at 48 inches high and 15 inches low, which is why we set dispenser height low enough for wheelchair users leaving an accessible unit. Section 309.4 also matters here: operable parts need to work with one hand and no more than 5 pounds of force, so we choose pump-style dispensers over stiff twist caps. If you are running a cluster of portable toilets under ADA Standards section 213.2, at least 5 percent need to be accessible, and the sanitizer station near that unit should follow the same reach rules. Sites in South Salt Lake, 7.9 miles south, and Murray, 11.6 miles south, use the same placement logic we use downtown.
How Often Does the Porta Potty Hand Sanitizer Dispenser Get Refilled?
Refill schedules follow your traffic count, not a fixed calendar. ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 sets a baseline service interval of once weekly for up to 10 users over a 40-hour week, and we use that as a starting point before adjusting up for event days. A porta potty hand sanitizer refill visit usually happens on the same stop as your toilet service, so you are not paying for two separate trips across Salt Lake City. High-traffic weekends, like a festival tied to festival restroom rental or a race routed through marathon and race restrooms, often need a mid-event top-off. We track usage and flag low units before your event coordinator notices. If you are also running a restroom trailer rental or a bank of units for construction site services, we build the sanitizer refill into the same route as the tank pump-out.

Sanitizer stations are usually quoted as an add-on to a porta potty rental cost estimate rather than priced alone, so ask for that number on your request a quote call.
Does a porta potty hand sanitizer dispenser replace handwashing?
No. It cuts down on immediate contamination but does not meet 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), which requires soap and a drying method. For sites needing actual washing facilities, look at a handwashing station rental instead, especially where OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) contaminant work applies.
Can I rent just the sanitizer station without a porta potty?
Yes. Plenty of small events or short-term crews add a station on its own. Most customers pair it with a portable restroom rental anyway, but it is not required.
How many stations do I need for a Salt Lake City event?
Plan roughly one station per 20 to 30 attendees, more near food service. Use our how many porta potties do i need guide as a starting ratio, then adjust for your venue layout.
What is a porta potty hand sanitizer dispenser made of?
It is a stand-alone frame holding a pump bottle or bulk refill cartridge, set beside your restroom units. It is not part of the toilet's holding tank system, and it needs its own refill checks.
Will the station work through a Salt Lake City winter?
Cold weather can thicken some sanitizer formulas and slow the pump. Check our porta potty in winter page for how we handle freeze protection on winter rentals.
