Safety Instructions

Important!
The process of lifting and moving a person always involves risks.
Therefore, you must read the user manuals for the lift and the
lifting equipment carefully. Always make sure that the lifting equipment
you are using is intended for use with the lift. As a care provider, you are
responsible for the patient's safety and you must know whether or not
the patient will be able to cope with the lifting process. The sling must be
designed and tested to meet the patient's specific needs. If you are in any
doubt, please contact the supplier. Human Care constantly improves and
updates its products. We reserve the right to change the design of the
products without prior notice.
Important points to remember
• Carry out a careful visual inspection of the sling every time you use it.
• Check that the right sling is being used for the patient. The model, size and
material must meet the patient's needs.
• Plan the moving and lifting process so that it is as safe as possible.
• Check that the sling is correctly attached to the lift/hanger bar once the lift
straps are stretched, but before the patient has left the surface.
• It is important to always check that the loops are at the bottom of all hooks
(see picture below), securely placed below the locking pin on all hooks.
Correct Correct
• It is important that the hooks of the telescopic hanger bar are in the correct
position, with the opening of the hook facing upwards on both hooks (please
see picture below). Check the position of the hook once the lift straps are
stretched, but before the patient has left the surface.
Correct Not correct
• Check that the patient is sitting securely in the sling before starting to lift
him/her.
• Check that the lift is in balance when moving, raising and lowering the
patient. If you are using a Human Care lift with telescopic hanger bar, it is
important that the bar hooks are in the same position at both sides.
• When moving the patient, it is important not to hold the lift belt, to prevent
it from being damaged.
• The sling must only be used for transfering people. The sling must not be
used as a swing.
