Slings
Troubleshooting
Description
Action
The client could slip out of the sling.
• The sling is too large.
•
The lifting sling is not entirely suitable – the clips must be load-bear
-
ing at the same time.
The client is not in balance when he/she is being lifted.
•
The instructions in the individual logbook have not been followed or a
new assessment/adjustment must be carried out.
The sling is too small.
•
This can be very uncomfortable for the client. The sling could cut
into the client's skin and/or his/her back may not be supported
sufficiently.
Note: It is important that the correct sling is used for each client and that individual tests are carried out to
ensure that the sling meets the client's needs and the transfer situation.

It is important to check the fabric, outer edges,
