WARNING!
Only personnel who have received training regarding
the use of lifting equipment and fitting of slings should
use the hoist.
– Plan the move. Avoid leaving the client in the sling
unattended.
– The ceiling hoist lifts quickly. Before lifting, check that
the client is completely free of his/her surroundings.
– The patient's body parts must not be in danger of
becoming trapped.
– Check that the red emergency strap, hand control and
hand control cable are free of the lifting straps, client
and other objects before the ceiling hoist is activated
and moved up or down.
– When the ceiling hoist is used correctly, the client
should only be lifted to the extent that she/he is clear
of the surface and should be moved at this height.
