The UK Health and Safety Executive's Lifting Operations and
Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 require any equipment
that is used in the workplace to lift a load be subject to
safety inspection on a six monthly basis. This is to be carried
out by a suitably trained individual. Please refer to the HSE
website for guidance (www.hse.gov.uk).
Regular maintenance of patients lifts and accessories is
necessary to assure proper operation. It is the responsibility
of the person responsible for the patient lift to ensure that
this maintenance is carried out.
After the first 12 months of operation, inspect all pivot
points and fasteners for wear. If the metal is worn, the
parts MUST be replaced. Perform this inspection every six
months thereafer.
