Patient Slings

• AusStandard Bed and Lifter Testing inspect most makes and models of patient slings.
• Victorian Worksafe Authority expects all slings to have a recorded inspection carried out every 6 months.
• Slings are an important safety equipment for your staff and clients and you must document their inspections.

• We mark the sling with an asset number from your database for future reference.

• An inspection of one sling is included with each hoist or lifter inspection.
• We mark the sling with an inspection date and record the inspection in the database we give you after the service call.
