Factors that need to be taken into account when moving and positioning individuals include ensuring the area you are using is hazard free, for example making sure there is nothing in your way that will affect you moving safely eg rugs to trip over, wet floors, other individuals moving around. You must make sure the equipment is fully working and safe to use, for example if using a hoist ensuring the sling is in date, making sure there are no pulls on the sling and loops, ensuring the battery is charged and the hoist is clean and fully working. Making sure the individual is correctly positioned and safely positioned in vital and if they aren’t 100% correct then you must start again to ensure this.
