How many hand sanitizer stations do I need?
Count entrances first, then traffic flow. A single station near the food line and one at the exit covers most events under a few hundred guests, similar to how we size a porta potty placement guide for restrooms. Construction crews often add a station next to each cluster of standard porta potty rental units so workers wash before breaks. Under 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(2), washing facilities need soap and towels or a hand drying device; sanitizer gel alone does not satisfy that rule where it applies, so we stock stations with soap dispensers for job sites that need to meet it. For agricultural crews, OSHA 1928.110 calls for handwashing access within a quarter mile of hand-labor employees, which is why we place stations close to the field rather than at a distant yard. If you are unsure of counts, our how many porta potties do I need guide walks through the same math for restrooms and applies just as well here.
Do I need soap or just hand sanitizer?
It depends on the work. If your crew is only touching tools and paperwork, a porta potty hand sanitizer dispenser at the exit is usually enough. But OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires washing facilities where workers are applying paints, coatings, herbicides or insecticides, so those sites need actual soap-and-water stations, not just gel. We rent both styles and can mix them across a Melbourne site: sanitizer-only stations by the trailers, soap stations near the spray or mixing area. Pair either option with a handwashing station rental unit if you also need a sink with a fresh water tank, and check our handwashing requirements page before you finalize your order.
What does a hand sanitizer station rental include?
Every unit ships with a full reservoir, a drip tray and a delivery to your Melbourne address, plus a porta potty hand sanitizer refill scheduled around your service visits. Crews running longer jobs usually set refills on the same cadence as their portable toilet rental service, which follows the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 baseline of one visit per week for moderate use. Event clients booking a single weekend often add stations alongside a restroom trailer rental or a bank of event restroom rental units near West Melbourne, about 5.7 miles south, or Indian Harbour Beach, 6.9 miles northeast. We deliver to both without issue.

Because sanitizer stations are almost always bundled with restrooms, dumpsters or temporary fence rental, we quote them as an add-on to your main order rather than a standalone line. Call or use request a quote and we will price the full package, including any ada accessible porta potty units your site plan requires under ADA Standards 213.2.
Can I rent just one station for a small job?
Yes. Homeowners doing a weekend renovation often add a single station next to a home renovation porta potty unit. No minimum order beyond the one unit, and delivery works the same as our smallest porta john rental jobs.
How often does the sanitizer get refilled?
Refills run on the same schedule as your restroom service, typically weekly per the ANSI/PSAI Z4.3 standard for moderate use. Heavy-traffic events may need a mid-week top-off, which we can schedule directly.
Will you deliver to a construction site outside city limits?
Yes. We already service Rockledge, 18.4 miles north, and Merritt Island, 16.2 miles north, alongside every Melbourne job. Check service areas for the full list.
Do sanitizer stations meet OSHA requirements on their own?
Not always. OSHA 1926.51(f)(1) requires soap-and-water washing where paints, coatings or pesticides are used, so gel-only stations do not cover that scenario. See OSHA portable toilet requirements for the full breakdown.
Can I add a station to an existing rental order?
Yes, anytime. Most customers add one when they place their porta potty rental cost order or during a mid-rental service call. Contact us and we will fold it into your next visit.
