What comes with a hand sanitizer station rental?
You get a freestanding dispenser, a base fill, and a refill schedule set at booking. Foot-pump and touch-free models both hold enough sanitizer for steady use across a work week, and we top them off on the same route we use for portable toilet rental service. Note that hand sanitizer stations are a convenience add-on, not a substitute for plumbed handwashing. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing facilities need soap and towels or a hand dryer, and sanitizer alone does not satisfy that. For crews spraying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) calls for actual washing facilities, not gel. That is why most job sites in El Monte order a handwashing station rental alongside the sanitizer stand, especially where the OSHA portable toilet requirements already set a toilet count under OSHA 1926.51(c). If you are unsure what your crew size needs, our how many porta potties do i need guide walks through the ratio.
Why do event sites in El Monte add sanitizer stations?
Because foot traffic at a festival or wedding is heavier and less predictable than a jobsite crew, and one gel stand near the restroom bank cuts the line. Planners running an event restroom rental package almost always add a station at the entrance and another near food service. Same goes for a wedding restroom rental or a festival restroom rental with vendor booths handling cash and food together. Marathon organizers booking marathon and race restrooms usually want one at each aid station, not just at the start line. County fair layouts under county fair restrooms tend to cluster stations near livestock areas and food courts separately. If your event also needs an accessible unit, remember ADA Standards 213.2 requires at least 5 percent of clustered single-user toilets to be accessible, which is one reason we pair sanitizer stands with our ADA accessible porta potty placements rather than tucking them behind the row.
Where should a hand sanitizer station go on site?
Right next to the restroom exit, and again wherever food or tools change hands. Keep the approach on stable, firm, slip-resistant ground per ADA Standards 302.1, and leave enough room in front for someone using a wheelchair to reach the pump, per the 48 inch maximum reach height in ADA Standards 308.2.1. If the station sits along a route that also needs to stay clear for a roll-off dumpster rental delivery, remember that truck needs about 60 feet of straight clearance behind it, so plan the sanitizer stand off that path. Farm operations covered by OSHA 1928.110 need water, toilets and handwashing within a quarter mile walk of hand-labor crews, one facility per 20 workers, which is a useful benchmark for farm and agricultural restrooms layouts too. For general porta potty placement guide rules, keep stations out of the same tight footprint as generators or fencing lines from a temporary fence rental job.

Do porta potties come with a hand sanitizer dispenser built in?
Some units do, some do not. Our deluxe flushable porta potty line typically includes an interior dispenser, while standard porta potty rental units may or may not, so confirm at booking if that matters for your site.
Can I rent just the sanitizer station without porta potties?
Yes. Some vendor rows and small offices book sanitizer stands on their own. Most El Monte customers combine it with a restroom order anyway, since the delivery truck is already running that route.
How often does the sanitizer get refilled?
Refill timing depends on headcount and usage, and gets set when you book. High-traffic events near Baldwin Park, 3.6 miles east, or Rosemead, 4.3 miles west, often need mid-event top-offs.
Does a sanitizer station replace handwashing requirements?
No. 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2) requires soap and towels or a dryer, which sanitizer gel does not provide. Pair it with a handwashing station rental if your work involves contaminants under OSHA 1926.51(f)(1).
