Healthcare People Handling Compliance Audit
A practical self-audit for nursing homes, hospitals, hospices and disability services to map where you stand against HSE manual and people handling expectations — and to spot the gaps before an inspection or incident does.
What's inside
- Training-needs review by staff group and role
- Equipment competence audit (hoists, slings, sliding sheets)
- Risk-assessment coverage by ward / unit / resident
- Documentation and sign-off checklist
- Incident and near-miss review prompts
- A RAG-rated summary you can take to management
HSE guidance says its classroom-based training is delivered by HSE instructors where available, or by Usafety.

From audit to action
The audit shows you where the gaps are. Closing them usually means refresher training, equipment competence sessions, or an ergonomic review of a high-risk unit — services Usafety can scope for healthcare workplaces.
Send us your completed audit when you request a quote and we'll recommend the most efficient way to close the gaps.
Before planning the response, review how patient and people handling differs from manual handling and the wider healthcare ergonomics and training programme.
