Hand Washing Stations: The Unsung Heroes of Site Sanitation
Hand washing stations aren't about hygiene—they're about protecting your profit margins. One sick worker costs you $230 daily in lost productivity while OSHA violations hit your bottom line with minimum $13,494 fines per incident. This isn't theory—it's basic business math that affects your quarterly results.
Strategic placement determines whether your investment works or fails completely, with usage dropping 70% when stations are more than 30 feet from porta potties. Your compliance checklist needs seven specific items—from adequate water supply to on-site service records—because documentation protects you when inspectors arrive. The customer perception data shows 91% of people associate hand washing stations with professional management, directly impacting contract decisions worth millions.
The ROI calculation makes this a no-brainer: $480 monthly investment delivers $1,150 monthly savings per 10 workers through reduced sick days alone. Royal Porta Johns delivers hand washing stations throughout Eastern Massachusetts and New England that protect your profits, not just your workers. Stop treating sanitation as a cost center when it's actually revenue protection.
