Where a handwashing station is not optional
Anywhere food is prepared, served or handled, a handwashing station is generally expected by the health department reviewing your event, and vendors will often ask before they commit. If you are booking restrooms for a festival, a fair or a food-truck gathering in Lake County, confirm the requirement with the Lake County General Health District and plan stations into the order from the start rather than adding them the week of.
On job sites, handwashing is a straightforward sanitation expectation wherever crews eat on site, and it is the cheapest goodwill you can buy with a trade crew in the middle of a long build.
Standalone stations versus deluxe units
A deluxe flushing restroom has a sink inside it. A standalone station puts washing outside the restroom, which is better for throughput — people wash while someone else is using the restroom — and it is the only sensible option next to a food line, where the people washing are not the people who just used a restroom.
The usual planning pattern is one station per restroom bank, plus a dedicated station at each food service area.
