It is necessary to establish the sling’s compatibility with other equipment,
especially the lift and the lifting system. It is also important to identify any
associated equipment that is involved in transfers, such as seating, beds,
trolleys, toilets and play or therapy equipment to ascertain that the lift and
sling will work effectively with these items.

tasks can be completed.
