Hand Wash Stations: Essential for Job Site Compliance
Hand hygiene is a critical requirement on construction sites, and WorkSafeBC takes it seriously. Portable hand wash stations are the practical solution for sites without permanent plumbing.
WorkSafeBC Requirements
WorkSafeBC regulations require employers to provide:
- Clean water for hand washing
- Soap (preferably liquid)
- Paper towels or other drying method
- Facilities near toilet areas and eating spaces
These requirements apply to all construction sites, regardless of size.
When You Need Hand Wash Stations
Hand wash stations are essential for:
- Any site without running water
- Remote construction locations
- Sites where permanent facilities are far from work areas
- Food service areas at events
- Compliance with health regulations
