The following tables compare risks between the traditional practice of manually lifting persons with reduced mobility (PRMs) verses using a mechanical device, like the S-Max Stairclimber, aided by trained attendants. Four categories are studied as noted in the two charts below: Identifying hazards, assessing risks, analyzing risk and control measures, and making control decisions.

Chart A) – Identify Hazards and Assess the Risks of MANUALLY lifting and transporting passengers with Disabilities.

Chart B) – Identify Hazards and Assess the Risks of manually lifting and transporting PRMs (persons with reduced mobility) in CONJUNCTION with using a Mechanical Lift Device ( S-Max or S-Max Sella Stairclimbers )
