1.3 Daily check
The carer/helper is responsible for ensuring that a daily check is carried out BEFORE the
stand-aid lifter and accessories are used, including the following:
1) Check that the stand-aid lifter is complete and no parts are missing.
2) Check that there are no signs of rust, wear and tear or other defects. If there is any sign
of a defect the stand-aid lifter must be taken out of service.
3) If any abnormal sound is heard from the stand-aid lifter, the lifter must not be used
before personnel authorised by Ergolet have carried out a safety check on the unit.
4) Check the lifting slings for any damages especially as regards to the lifting straps for
tears in the material. The slings must not be used if defects are detected.
5) If in any doubt concerning the use of stand-aid lifter or lifting slings, contact Ergolet for
advice and guidance.
