Safe Lifting Techniques

Check that the same colour straps are 
used to achieve level loading and that 
the loops are securely fastened in the 
carry bar hook.

Explain, if necessary, to the patient 
about the lift.  Check during the lift that 
the patient is comfortable.  Look for 
non-verbal signs of discomfort.

Ensure their weight is evenly 
distributed between the straps.  Make 
sure the sling does not pinch or pull the 
patient’s skin at any point. 

Make sure the patient will not slide 
out of the sling or tip backwards or 
forwards.  The sling should comfortably 
surround the patient being lifted.

While lowering a patient, using a gentle 
hand pressure to guide the patient as 
the lift is moving towards the seating 
surface. Ensure patient is in correct 
position for seating before lowering.

Check the sling for signs of wear or 
damage before using. If any signs of 
damage are present, do not use the 
sling.

to ensure it holds its shape and is rigid.  The label must be 
clear and legible. 

Daily Inspection 

- Always inspect the sling for visible signs of 

damage and/or wear before use.  

Plan the moving and lifting process 
to ensure it is as safe as possible.  
If necessary, have two caregivers 
perform the transfer.
