This slips, trips and falls audit checklist helps care and residential facilities reduce injury risk by checking common hazards and controls across internal and outdoor areas. Verify clear walkways, floor and mat condition, spill response and wet-floor signage, adequate lighting, cleaning schedules, cable management, step integrity, appropriate staff and resident footwear, and drainage in wet areas. Inspect outdoor paths for potholes, cracks, raised edges and moss, and confirm lighting. Review monthly falls data, note any serious injuries, and spot-check resident incident notes to ensure clear descriptions, updated falls risk assessments, referrals to the Falls Team for frequent fallers, and safeguards raised when thresholds are met.
