INSTRUCTIONS: All slings in the facility must be checked monthly. Slings that are damaged or excessively worn must be removed
from service and replaced with undamaged slings. Check each blank as that item is inspected. Note the date inspected, the initials of
the nurse or professional rehabilitation department staff member who performed the inspection, and action taken, if any, in the
"CORRECTIVE ACTION" column.

Total number of slings.
Is loose and/or missing
stitching present?
On slings with safety
belts, does Velcro or
plastic connector fasten
securely?
Are tears present?
Is excessive wear
present?
Is color fading on
stabilizing handles?*
Is the padding inside the
leg straps smooth?**
*If the color is fading on the stabilizing handles, this indicates the sling is being laundered with bleach or with a harsher detergent than is recommended. The sling must be
removed from service immediately and discarded as bleach or harsh detergent can weaken the fabric and stitching.
**If the padding inside the leg straps is bunched (no longer smooth), this indicates the sling has been dried in a hot dryer. The sling must be removed from service immediately
and discarded as too much heat can damage the sling.
