Vertical hoist lifting of service users

Ensure Vertical Hoist Lifting Of Service Users
Always ensure that when hoisting service users the hoist straps and lifting motor are in a position vertically above the service user.
If the hoist straps and motor are not positioned vertically above the service user, it will cause excessive wear to the hoisting equipment, can cause the hoist to fail and become unsafe and potentially put the safety of the service user and carers at risk.
