Table Safe Use Practices
Always use safe practices during loading and unloading patients from the table. All
procedures should be created by the facility owner and followed. Common sense and being
aware of safe practices should always drive procedures. Below is a list of recommendations
and situational conditions that require attention, heed all warnings.
• Do NOT operate the lift table before checking to ensure the unit and surrounding area is clear of
personnel, animals and obstructions.
•
Do NOT operate the lift table on uneven flooring. Adjust leveling feet to ensure the unit is stable.
• Always balance the load on the table surface, center patient on the table.
•
Do NOT allow animals to jump off the table.
• Do NOT sit, stand or lean on the table. Animal use ONLY.

that utilizes a foot actuated mechanism to raise and lower the table approximately 12 inches.

raised to 41
