Page: 16 / 24

This sling is designed for a general purpose transfer
from a recumbent or seated position. If it is an
In-Situ sling, the sling can remain in position under
the patient subject to a risk assessment. Transfer
accessories are intended to assist patient transfer.
The patient must be assessed by a competent person
who is fully trained in the suitability, application and
fitting of the sling. Carers should always be trained in
the use of hoists and slings.
Correct sizing of a sling is important, if in any doubt
consult your Moving and Handling Advisor.
All products should be checked each time they are
used for any signs of deterioration.
Please Check:
- braiding/tapes for deterioration and fraying
- material for holes/snagging
- compatibility with the hoist
- safe working load of both the hoist and sling
/product (if applicable)
- label is legible
Remove from use immediately if there are any signs
of deterioration to the sling or tapes or the label
is illegible. The Service Label is a visual indicator of
when the 6-monthly or annual hoist inspection has been
completed. This is in line with LOLER (Lifting Operations
and Lifting Equipment Regulations).
