The Advantages of IMC Portable Hand Washing Sinks
Hand washing is an essential hygienic practice. With that being said, portable hand sinks are becoming an accepted (& sometimes mandatory) item in areas where traditional sinks are not available.
Although hand sanitizer options do exist, hand washing is by far the best way to prevent disease & germs from coming in contact with users. It is a great option for catering events, outdoor dining, festivals & many other facilities.
Let’s explore some of the main benefits of having a portable hand washing sink.
Hygiene
The most obvious & the most important advantage. Promoting great hygienic practices are imperative to anyone hosting public events. In locations where hygiene is a main concern, such as food prep stations, portable wash sinks offer a suitable place to keep people’s hands clean & ensure proper hygiene.
Mobility
Mobile wash sinks are portable, which means they can be taken anywhere & moved around a facility conveniently thanks to casters. Almost all portable hand sinks are designed for simple set-up & handling, so you can have a fully equipped wash sink up & running whenever you need a place where people can wash up.
Convenience
By setting up a portable wash sink in your facility, patrons can have instant access to clean, running water. Guests will no longer have to trek long distances in your facility to wash their hands. All of this, therefore, will help save valuable time & significantly reduce waiting times of your indoor restrooms.
Customization
Portable hand sinks are compact & easily placed in a variety of different arrangements to help service your function. To meet your parameters & requirements, portable hand sinks have a range of options available that can be equipped. Some options may include side splashes, door locks, a hinged door with shelf, custom bowl size, or 2 or 3 sinks bowls for multiple hand washing.
Health/Legal Compliance
With portable hand washing sinks, you keep your business compliant with health standards. Hand washing rules & regulations can often vary from one jurisdiction to another in terms of what qualifies as proper ratio of sinks to toilets. Check your local codes to make sure you are in compliance.
Furthermore, the requirement of portable sinks becoming part of health code inspection checklists at outdoor event settings is becoming popular across North America. Health departments are pushing hard to give everyone an opportunity to wash their hands though portable sink options.

Thanks for pointing out that handwashing sink stations are required to become a part of health code inspection checklists in outdoor events. With that in mind, we should get one or more of those for our wedding day this coming December. It’s because we plan to hole the program for the ceremony and reception both in the wide space of the barn of my grandfather.
