FITTING IN THE SUPINE POSITION
Before you start, check that the sling is in a safe and clean condition and is the correct size and
model for the person to be transferred.
To prevent falls, always roll a person towards yourself, a colleague, a wall or a bed rail. If in doubt
about the sling or its use please refer to page 2 of this guide.

Gently roll the person onto
their side.
Position the sling with the
aperture lined up with the

so that the centre of the sling
aligns along their spine.

through, lay it out flat.

their back.
