A Case Study Mr Collins, 80, was being transported in a sling (hoist) from his bed to a specialist chair at St. Vincent Care Home. During the manoeuvre Mr Collins fell to the floor, hitting his head. The pensioner, who suffered a stroke followed by paraplegia and was unable to move, died the following day. The Owners of St. Vincent Care Homeat the time of the incident were Mr & Mrs Khans They were prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) for failing to ensure the safety of Mr Collins. Crown Court heard that the hoist was in such poor condition that it could not be used safely. The stitching on the sling was worn and damaged meaning the head support that should have supported Mr Collins’s head could not be used. HSE found the system of work used by the nurse and care assistant operating the hoist put Mr Collins at risk of falling from the hoist at any time. The court was also told the training of the two employees in manual handling was limited and the supervision and assessment of competence in manual handling was not adequate. Mr & Mrs Khans pleaded guilty to breaching Section 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. They were fined £40,000 and were ordered to pay £15,000 costs at the Crown Court.
