Safety

CAUTION

Hazard: Performing the internal inspection with the patient couch held up by an automotive jack, if the jack slips.

Consequence: The upper frame may fall, resulting in injury.

Avoidance: Place a square piece of wood between the frame and the floor before starting the inspection, so that safety is preserved even if the jack slips.
