Caution
Hoist and Sling Compatibility Notification
Alert to Prescribers of hoists and slings:
A Prohibition Notice has been issued by Workplace Health and Safety Queensland directing that 'the person in control of the work activity stop the activity of use of mismatched equipment for patient handling (hoists and slings)'. A statewide safety alert has been issued by the Occupational Health and Safety Unit within Queensland
Health.
In accordance with the required mandatory actions, the Medical Aids Subsidy Scheme (MASS) is acting immediately, and as a matter of priority, to:
1) Identify clients who have, under the previously existing risk management process in place by MASS, been issued with slings of different brand to the hoist. It is noted that this equipment was specifically prescribed by an appropriately qualified Physiotherapist or Occupational Therapist who assessed this as the most appropriate option for the individual client. However, under the abovementioned
Prohibition Notice, this practice is no longer acceptable, and where the sling does not comply with the Manufacturer's specific recommendations, a replacement recommended sling must be prescribed and purchased by MASS as soon as possible.
2) The Daily Living Aids Prescriber Procedures have been amended as per the abovementioned Prohibition Notice and the Hoist Sling Compatibility Checklist has been withdrawn as this is no longer applicable. Please refer to the procedures for current requirements when prescribing this equipment.
3) Where suppliers are in the practice of providing slings that are not of the same brand as the hoist, MASS will seek written manufacturer endorsements for the applicable hoist/sling combinations. Details of manufacturer endorsed hoist/sling combinations will be placed on the MASS bulletin board as this information becomes available.
