Before lifting, keep the following points in mind:
• A responsible person within your organization should decide on a case-by-case basis whether one or more caregivers are
needed.
• Ensure that the sling selected meets the patient’s needs with reference to model, size, fabric and design.
• For safety and hygiene reasons, use individual slings.
• Plan the lifting operation so that it can be done as safely and smoothly as possible.
• Although the Liko sling bars are equipped with latches, special caution must be exercised. Before the patient is lifted from
the underlying surface, but when the straps are fully extended, make sure the straps are correctly connected to the sling
bar hooks.
•
The height to which the lift should proceed varies from person to person
• Never leave a patient unattended during a lifting situation.
• Make sure that the wheels on the wheelchair, bed, gurney, etc., are locked during the lifting/transfer operation.
• Always work ergonomically. Use the patient’s ability to actively participate in the operations.
