This checklist evaluates staff competency in safe manual handling for patients and residents in a nursing home setting. It covers repositioning in bed and chair, transfers, mobility assistance, use of sliding sheets, hoists and sling selection, standing aids, posture and balance, injury prevention, and risk assessment using the TILE approach. Use it to document training completion, observations, comments, and instructor sign off for compliance and continuous improvement.
