This Moving and Handling competency assessment helps care providers evaluate carers on safe patient handling practices. It covers consent confirmation, correct selection and use of equipment such as hoists and slings, slide sheets, rotundas, and wheelchairs, as well as preparation and planning for each manoeuvre. Assessors review posture and body mechanics, communication with colleagues and the service user, and the protection of safety, comfort, and dignity throughout the process. Use this checklist to document observations, add comments, and record names and locations during assessments in health and social care settings.
Use this manual handling competence assessment to evaluate and document staff capability in safe patient handling across healthcare environments. Topics include safer handling principles, risk assessment, unsafe practices, and managing a falling service-user. Practical skills cover moving clients in chairs, bed mobility, transfers, raising a fallen service-user, and fitting/removing sliding sheets. Hoist and standaid sections address selection and use of hoists and slings, key points from LOLER 1998, and practical hoisting from seated and lying positions. The template includes trainer and trainee sign-offs and competency confirmation to support compliance, training records, and safer care.
