WARNING!
Using the Sling
– Use the sling that is recommended by a Healthcare
Professional for the comfort and safety of the
individual that is being lifted.
– Individuals that use the stand assist sling MUST be
able to support the majority of their own weight,
otherwise injury may occur.
– Bleached, torn, cut, frayed or broken slings are unsafe
and their use could result in injury or damage. Discard
any sling that meets these criteria IMMEDIATELY.
– DO NOT alter slings.
– Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the
sling is removed and replaced, to ensure that it is
properly attached before the patient is removed from
a stationary object (bed, chair or commode).
– If the patient is in a wheelchair, activate the wheelchair
brakes to prevent the chair from moving forwards
or backwards.
– Consideration should be taken that prevents exposure
to danger to the person being lifted, and that the
person can be freed without injury.
