What starts in California usually reaches the rest of the country sooner or later. Cal-OSHA just started a new hand wash standard that went into effect in February '03. All construction sites must provide running water, soap and disposable towels for all workers on the job. One faucet per 20 workers on a site. Hand washing facilities must not be attached to portable toilet facilities. They must be stand alone units. I'm sure it won't take long for this standard to spread across the rest of the country and for Fed-OSHA to adopt as well. Rental units are available from the portable toilet companies and they are charging anywhere from $35 to $160 a month.
