• A risk assessment must be performed before using any other manufactured sling, carry bar or ceiling
track to ensure ‘safe’ use can be established.
• Risk of strangulation: Please make sure handset cable and lift tape are always clear of all persons.
• Risk of impact with carry bar: Please take care to ensure the carry bar is clear of the person in the sling
