Hot and cold running water, soap, a method to dry hands, and an “employees must wash hands” sign are the four elements essential at a hand washing station. A fifth requirement, a trash container, is also necessary if the method to dry hands is paper towels.

The 2022 Food Code update also added the requirement that the hot water must be a minimum of 85°F (29°C) and drinkable.
