Policy on Number of Staff Members
Required for Patient Transfer

lifts are designed for safe usage with one
caregiver. There are circumstances, such as
combativness, obesity, contractures, etc., of
the patient that may dictate the need for a
two-person transfer. It is the responsibility
of each facility or medical professional to
determine if a one or two-person transfer is
more appropriate, based on the task, patient
load, environment, capability, and skill level
of the staff members.
