Before lifting, keep the following points in mind:
• A responsible person within your organization should decide on a case-by-case basis whether one or more
caregivers are needed.
• Ensure that the sling selected meets the patient’s needs with reference to model, size, fabric and design.
• Test the emergency lowering device on the lift you are using to make certain that it functions properly.
•
Adjust the maximum height so that it will be impossible to raise a patient too high.
• For safety and hygiene reasons, use individual slings.
• Before lifting, plan the lifting operation so that it can be done as safely and smoothly as possible.
• Before lifting, check that the lifting accessory hangs vertically and can move freely.
• Although Liko’s sling bars are equipped with safety latches, special caution must be exercised: Before the patient
is lifted from the underlying surface, but after the straps have been fully extended, make sure the straps are
properly connected to the sling bar.
• Never lift a patient higher off the underlying surface than is needed to complete the lifting and transfer procedure.
• Never leave a patient unattended during a lifting situation.
• Make sure that the wheels on the wheelchair, bed, gurney, etc., are locked during the lifting/transfer operation.
• Always work ergonomically.
