by Adam Hansen, from the Community

This WHS inspection checklist helps staff assess resident rooms in aged care and healthcare facilities. It guides checks for trip hazards, spills, door and window function, adequate lighting, intact fly screens, tagged electrical equipment, and furniture condition. It also verifies that the call bell works and is within reach, and inspects bathrooms for floor damage, fixture condition, exhaust fan operation, and secure grab rails. Use it to standardize routine inspections, document issues, and support safety compliance and incident prevention.
