Please make sure that a sling of the correct size is used for the resident.
Prior to lifting the patient or the resident, the situation must be assessed by a qualified
employee or a therapist. This also applies to care-dependent persons with limited or
reduced shoulder mobility or for patients who are unable to hold themselves with one
or both hands.

The use of incompatible (i.e. non-BEKA Hospitec) slings can cause accidents!

sling clips are correctly attached prior to and during the lifting procedure and that they
are tensioned while supporting the patient’s weight. Check that the sling is not too tight
and that the patient’s arms ar
e inside the sling.

to lifting the patient/resident!
