Slings For Hoists

Slings are items of moving and handling equipment that are used with hoists in order to transfer a service user. The sling is applied under and around the service user before being attached to the spreader bar of thehoist. The service user can then be safely raised, transferred and lowered with minimal risk to service user or the manual handler

A full risk assessment must be carried out before any sling is selected to ensure compatibility with the hoist and safety for the service user and the carer.

This must be documented on the SS10a Handling Assessment Summary and Plan (accessible through Info Point or Care First 6).Moving and Handling assessors should ensure they have attended a Hoist training course and are responsible for keeping their training updated.

The core item slings are available in sizes Small, Medium and Large.

Other slings are available please contact CES

Warning :

Access Slings

This is NOT a general-purpose sling and will only suit a small number of service users who have upper body strength.

It should only be used following a thorough risk assessment, as there is potential for the service user to slip out of the sling. Service users must be in a sitting position to use this sling and need to be able to maintain this position when being hoisted.

These slings are designed specifically to facilitate the toileting procedure by allowing the removal of clothing.
