Hazards
.
Location of Chair - "Danger of Tipping or Falling Objects"
1.5.1
Broda recommends that when a child has been moved to their destination, the chair is placed where the child cannot
reach handrails or other objects, fixed or movable. This is to prevent the child from pulling the chair over or pulling
themselves off the seating surface and to prevent the child from pulling movable objects onto the chair and
themselves.
Broda recommends that the chair be used in a supervised area to prevent untrained individuals from unauthorized
operation, movement, or unsafe actions in order to prevent risk of tipping or damage to the chair.
Broda recommends that a chair only be located on a level surface to minimize the risk of tipping over.
Transport Wheels - "Danger of Tipping"
1.5.2
The transport wheels found on the rear of the Aspire Pediatric Glider are for ease of transporting an unoccupied
chair. Do not transport the Aspire Pediatric Glider while it is occupied. Doing so could cause the chair to tip, causing
serious injury to individuals.
Re-Positioning of Optional Height Adjustable Armrests- "Danger of Clamping"
1.5.3
The Aspire Pediatric Glider offers optional height adjustable armrests. Before movement of the armrest height,
ensure the child's and caregivers' body are clear of all pinch points.
Unintended Movement - "Danger of Falling or Collision"
1.5.4
Broda recommends the Aspire Pediatric Glider for indoor use within an education institute, healthcare facility or
home, and where there is not enough slope to cause the chair to move unaided. Chairs used where the surface is
uneven or sloped are at risk of unintended movement and could become a serious danger to child, caregiver(s), or
third party. We recommend that the Aspire Pediatric Glider is located away from stairwells, elevators, and exterior
doorways.
