Anywhere you have a staff break room without running water you have a problem. Not only does the lack of running water cause problems in preparing meals, making coffee and even just cleaning up, it also creates a hygiene problem. By adding a portable hand wash basin to the room, you can really make it a much nicer place to spend a break.
There are many situations where an employer may not have a break room available for employees with running hot and cold water and sink. This could be in an older building simply not designed to have running water throughout, on a remote job site or even in a part of the building that is an add-on. In all these situations, a portable hand wash basin offers a cost-effective, simple solution to the problem.
The Hygiene Factor
On any job site providing employees with proper equipment and options for personal hygiene is not only good business, it can actually help to save you in lost wages and lost productivity.
When staff can access hot and cold running water at a portable hand wash basin they are more likely to wash their hands frequently, helping to limit the spread of germs, viruses and bacteria which can lead to illness and days off of work.
The Room Cleanliness Factor
With a portable hand wash basin in the room, spills, drops and messes are much more likely to be cleaned up immediately. This means the break room is much cleaner and there are fewer complaints from staff about a messy facility or area.
When staff can simply turn on a tap and have hot water, it is easy to keep the room clean, neat and surfaces free from spills and food particles. Staff can also rinse out cups, and keep dishes clean without having to keep moving items between rooms or simply letting things pile up on the counter area.
Food Prep
Another benefit to having a portable hand wash basin in the breakroom is access to hot or cold water for food prep. This prevents the need to carry food from the kitchen area to the breakroom or, more likely, carrying containers of water back and forth.
With a portable hand wash basin you will find the break room is used more frequently by your staff. People will also be happier and feel a lot better when they can clean up easily and without having to walk all over the building to a sink.
