Be Safe Solutions: Gait and Assist Belts

Lifting, transferring, and assisting individuals with disabilities are daily requirements for staff who work in the therapeutic field. These tasks can be dangerous for staff members as well as patrons. In most cases, this work is done in tight quarters, with limited ability to get a good grasp of the patron or good positioning to perform a safe lift. The Gait and Assist Belts are two different products designed to make lifting and assisting patrons safer and more dignified.

Provided below is information on how to use these tools, along with a sheet listing links to vendors that supply these products.
