General Instructions: Warning
Do not attempt to transfer the patient until
all appropriate sling attachments are secured to
the lift spreader bar and you are satised that the
sling is the correct style, size and t for the patient.
Correct sizing of a sling is important as a sling that is
too large could cause the patient to slip through the
aperture.
While every attempt is made to instruct a safe move
you must conform to the current moving and handling
procedures/regulations. If in any doubt, consult your
Moving and Handling Advisor.

checking protocols.
A risk assessment must be carried out to ensure
