Locations Conducive to Portable Sinks/Hand-washing Stations
Let's face it, there are some situations or events where the utilization of portable sinks/hand-washing stations would be, unarguably, necessary. Here are a few:
Food-ServingFestivals
It is something we were, all, told as children: Wash your hands before sittingdown to eat! Our parents were well aware of how the spread of germs/bacteria/viruses could contribute to any condition from the common cold to pneumonia to bronchitis, and more. That truth, unfortunately, is with us today.
Whether one is preparing food, serving food, or eating food, having portable sinks/hand-washing stations on-site at food-serving festivals is paramount. Not only that, but food establishments must be in compliance with Food Code requirements concerning proper and adequate hand-washing. It all boils down to the prevention of illnesses for employees as well as those who eat food from any given food establishment.
It has been revealed by the World Health Organization that hand sanitizers should be used in conjunction with water and soap hand-washing, and not used as a substitute for it.
Outdoor Weddings
Even if an outdoor wedding setting has porta-potties available, having portable sinks/hand-washing stations ready for guests is a wise and thoughtful move. Whether the situation involves eating sugary cake or getting sprayed with an opened bottle of champagne, the availability of running water would be a welcome relief – much more effective than hand-sanitizers!
Remote Work Sites/Construction Sites
When outside workers are not within walking distance of regular bathroom facilities with running water, it is vital that portable sinks/hand-washing stations be made available to them. Farm workers or construction workers can, easily, be subjected to insecticides, herbicides, paint products, gasoline or other contaminants that can be hazardous if absorbed into the skin.
Protective measures in work environments, whether agricultural or construction and others, must satisfy health department hand-washing requirements. The utilization of portable sinks/hand-washing stations guarantees the highest level of not only sanitation but protection.
Farm workers are instructed to take steps to ensure they do not contaminate produce. A large part of that instruction has to do with consistent hand-washing through the use of portable sinks. Farm owners and managers must provide their workers with the resources their employees need in order to do their jobs properly. It is, here, where portable sinks/hand-washing stations become indispensable.
There are strict guidelines for job-site compliance as set forth by OSHA, GAP, and USDA regarding sanitary resources for agricultural field workers who do not have access to running water for hand-washing purposes.
Cooking Demonstrations at Farmers' Markets
Whenever a vendor at a farmers' market might demonstrate how to cook or prepare food, a portable sink/hand-washing station would be an absolute requisite. Viewers want to see a chef with clean hands after each presentation for the sake of aesthetics while the vendor would, especially, want to keep his or her hands spotlessly clean for the sake, also, of keeping germs or bacteria, at bay.
Outdoor BBQ-cooking contests or seafood boils would, also, benefit greatly from portable sinks/hand-washing stations being available. Can you imagine these food-eating scenarios without portable sinks/hand-washing stations, near by?
Food for Thought
Hand cleanliness is not overrated. Here are a few stunning facts from the World Health Organization that may cause one to pause. Dedicated hand-washing with soap and water…..
… has the ability to reduce diarrheal disease-associated fatalities by up to 50%
… can reduce respiratory illnesses – such as colds – in the general population by up to 21%
… can reduce absenteeism in schoolchildren – due to gastrointestinal illnesses – by up to 57%
… has the ability to dramatically protect young children from respiratory infections, like pneumonia
… if repeated in 15-second intervals, will remove 10 times more bacteria during each interval
… should not be accompanied by re-usable cloth towels – they harbor millions of bacteria, unlike paper towels, which are the most sanitary means of drying hands
And last, but not least: 80% of communicable diseases are transferred by touch.
