This hand hygiene compliance checklist helps hospitals and clinics evaluate how healthcare workers perform hand hygiene against WHO guidelines and the 5 Moments for Hand Hygiene. It covers alcohol-based hand rub and soap-and-water techniques, including duration, steps, and visible standards such as short, clean nails, no jewelry or wristwatches, and bare-below-the-elbows clothing. Auditors can document observations, attach photo evidence, and record recommendations to monitor performance and drive corrective actions. Use it for internal audits, staff coaching, and ongoing infection prevention and control programs.
