Hand sinks are small basins reserved for handwashing, placed where staff can reach them from prep, cooking, dish and service areas without crossing the kitchen. Wall-mount, pedestal and drop-in styles are common, with options such as knee, foot or sensor valves, side splashes and built-in soap and towel dispensers. Restaurants, cafes, bars, bakeries and food trucks all install them, and most Canadian health units set rules on where they go and how they are stocked.

Before you buy
- Ask your local public health unit how many hand sinks the layout needs and where they must be placed before choosing models.
- Consider hands-free operation, such as knee valves, foot pedals or sensor faucets, so staff do not touch the handle again with clean hands.
- Confirm whether the faucet, drain, P-trap and wall bracket are included, and whether the faucet mixes hot and cold water through one spout.
- Add side splashes when a hand sink sits next to a prep table or open food, so water does not spray onto clean surfaces.
- Plan room for soap and paper towel dispensers and a waste bin beside each sink, unless the model has dispensers built in.
Common questions
Can staff use a hand sink for anything other than handwashing?
- No. Most Canadian health units expect hand sinks to be used only for washing hands, kept clear of dishes and food, and stocked with soap and a way to dry hands, usually single-use paper towels. Dumping liquids or rinsing utensils in one can lead to an inspection finding, so give staff a separate prep or mop sink for those jobs.
Does a hand sink need hot water?
- Most health units expect hot and cold running water at every hand sink, usually through a mixing faucet so the water reaches a comfortable temperature, and some set a minimum temperature. The water heater and plumbing need to supply each hand sink, so confirm the requirement with your health unit and plumber.
Is a portable hand sink acceptable?
- Self-contained portable hand sinks with their own water tanks and heaters are used at events, markets and temporary sites where plumbing is not available. Whether one is accepted for a permanent kitchen or a food truck depends on your health unit, so ask before buying.
