    Hi
    Does anyone have any tips on applying a hoist sling when only one carer is available . I came across this problem at a special needs unit which has good equipment including ceiling hoists but staff are expected to change students and hoist them by themselves.
    Regards

    Hi Ann,
    Are they prepared to log roll if space available? If so you can get the slings to fold into a pretty tight little package like so… then with a roll get it in quite central for the return roll. The fold can assist with the dreaded strap tangle when trying to get a sling situated just right. I find it works best with a padded sling as it doesn’t bunch. Folding a padded sling
