What must a handwashing station include in addition to soap and water?

Hand dryer
Garbage container
Antibacterial gel
Cleaning brush

The correct answer is: Garbage container

A handwashing station is critical for maintaining food safety standards and promoting proper hygiene. In addition to soap and water, it must include a garbage container to ensure that any paper towels or used materials can be disposed of properly. This helps keep the area clean and prevents cross-contamination, as improper disposal of waste can lead to contamination of hands or food preparation areas. While hand dryers are often found at handwashing stations, they are not a mandatory element according to food safety guidelines. Antibacterial gel can be an additional method for cleaning hands but is not a substitute for handwashing and doesn't fulfill the requirement for a handwashing station. Cleaning brushes are not standard components of handwashing stations as they relate more to cleaning equipment than to the act of handwashing itself.
