All slings are to have a SF-58 Participant Sling Check Form stored in a folder at Ameeyk House and Lalor St.
All Kyeema slings are to be routinely inspected by a trained professional every six months.
Kyeema staff are to inspect the sling prior to use. Information on the sling is to be recorded in the relevant SF-58 Participant Sling Check Form and signed off by the inspecting staff member. If a sling is damaged do not use it and contact the Program Manager, select another sling if available and complete the same check before its use.
