handwashing stations

Public sanitation points

Handwashing stations are fixtures or portable units equipped for washing hands, typically featuring a sink, soap dispenser, and water supply.

They appear in public restrooms, hospitals, food service areas, and outdoor events.

During health crises, temporary handwashing stations may be installed in high-traffic locations: The festival set up handwashing stations near every food vendor.
