3.0 Installation
The CP Hoist has been specifically designed to be installed in both the professional and home health care environments.
No matter the environment, health and safety factors should be considered to ensure the safety and essential performance of
the hoist and to avoid unnecessary damage or injuries to people within the area of the hoist.
Typical examples include: radiated heat (e.g. from a heater or fire place), excessive moisture impacting electrical performance
(e.g. from a bathroom or kitchen area) and the correct storage of the hoist after use (e.g. handset position on the carry bar).
The Hoist is not intended to be used in environments where there are rapid changes in the environmental temperature and
humidity during intended use.
This manual covers the safety and advice for the CP and moving and handling risks can be done in-house, as long as the person is
competent to identify and address the risks.
Refer to the Commissioning guide document which outlines the correct procedure to install the product.
Document Number: 996016.
You may need to seek to seek specialist advice on how to assist some people with specific moving and handling needs. Sources
of advice include, but is not limited to, professional bodies and organisations, occupational therapist, physiotherapists, manual
handling advisers and ergonomist with experience in health and social care.
A Prism Medical approved engineer must install the hoist.
