    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    LIKO LIFT USED FOR TRANSFERRING PTS WITH IMMOBILITY/LIMITED MOBILITY, WHICH CAN CAUSE A FALL RISK TO THE PT. ISSUE: - THE TWO PINS AT EITHER END OF THE LIFT ARMS BREAK OFF VERY EASILY AND THUS THE STRAP IS NOT SECURE AND CAN SLIDE OFF THE ARMS. ISSUE: - THE STRAP THAT HOLDS THE LIFT ARM HAS A TENDENCY TO TWIST THE PT AROUND DURING TRANSFER SO STAFF HAVE DEVELOPED A WORK AROUND IN THAT THEY HOLD THE TWO SLING STRAPS TOGETHER TO PREVENT THE PT FROM TWISTING. THIS BREAKS THE TENSION/GRAVITY OF THE LIFTING SYS AND CREATES A FALL RISK AND POTENTIAL BACK INJURY ISSUE FOR THE CARE GIVER.
