Safety

CAUTION

Hazard: Inspecting the patient couch while it is raised on an automotive jack

Consequence: The upper frame may fall if the jack slips, causing injury

Avoidance: Place a square piece of wood between the frame and the floor before working under/around the raised couch, so the frame is held up even if the jack slips
