Considerations

It is recommended that prior to using this product, training in manual handling and the correct use of assistive devices should be undertaken.

Worksafe issued a Safety and Health alert in March 2007 regarding portable overhead patient hoists. Some of these hoist systems are supplied with an arm extension used to attach the hoist unit to the overhead track. If the arm extension has an open hook there is a risk that the hook may be displaced during operation when moved laterally or rotated.

Recommendations:
Open hooks used to attach a hoist unit to the overhead track should be provided with a safety catch.
Hooks used as a means of suspension on any other patient hoist must be designed to minimise the risk of displacement.
