*Note: In this video, workers are shown using a sling that is not compatible with the total body floor lift being used. This is contrary to the sling manufacturer's instructions. Section 4.1(1)(b) of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation states that "each tool, machine and piece of equipment in the workplace is selected, used and operated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions." We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
