Use this hand hygiene audit tool to run a monthly program that checks compliance with your care home’s hand hygiene policy. The checklist guides auditors through key moments, correct handwashing technique, bare below the elbows standards, covering cuts, and hygienic disposal of paper towels. Record dates, auditor names, observations, and staff assessed, then complete sign-off to close the audit. Ideal for residential and nursing care settings, it supports infection prevention, consistent staff training, and annual competency assessments.
