What Care Home Health and Safety Audits Should Evidence

### Management System The audit should evidence a clear, board-approved policy, defined responsibilities, and a documented management system covering planning, implementation, monitoring and review. ### People at Risk Evidence should cover employees, residents and visitors — including how vulnerability and individual needs are considered in risk arrangements. ### Key Risk Areas * Manual handling and resident handling * Slips, trips and falls * COSHH (cleaning, clinical, medication) * Work equipment and medical devices * Infection-related H&S boundaries * Contractor control * Training and competency ### Incident Management Evidence of incident reporting, investigation, RIDDOR considerations and corrective action — with learning fed back into the system. ### LRMS Approach We rate findings — conforming, improvement opportunity, action required, high priority — and deliver a prioritised action plan with owners and target dates. We do not make clinical-care claims beyond LRMS competence.
