Evade any injury whilst Moving Properties
Moving Home or office can be a headache so if you find yourself rushing to get those last few removal boxes packed and on the van or truck. Instead what you should be considering is your health and safety at all times because a moment of irritation mixed with the rush of getting everything done and out of the way can be the root to a bigger problems such as a injury to yourself or the people around you. An injury can occur at any time, particularly when your thinking and doing so many different things.
However this can all be avoided with a little pre-preparation by hiring an experienced removals company or movers and packers as some say. Nevertheless injuries can differ from a small cut or stubbed toe to a back injury. So therefore when removing or lifting heavy items e.g. moving boxes, suitcases and furniture make sure to do so carefully to reduce any risks alternatively lifting items in the proper manner is accentual and here are a small number of ways to do so safe and sound:
• First get a good grip.
• Bend your knees, not your waist.
• Keep the item you're lifting close to your body.
• Don't twist your body.
• Place your legs apart.
• Stay away from lifting things over your head.
• Lift with your legs for power, not your back.
• Do not jerk when lifting.
• Lift smoothly and slowly.
• Maintain a secure footing.
• Push rather than pull when moving items with wheels.
• Use a trolley to carry heavy or uneven objects.
Most importantly make sure you have a first aid kit with you or near you at all times for health and safety reasons. A charged and fully working mobile phone to make emergency calls for Ambulance. First aid kits mostly come in small boxes that are easy to carry around and can even be put a glove compartment of a Vehicle. A well equipped first aid kit should contain the following items:
• First Aid Pamphlet
• Antiseptic
• Hand Towels
• Gloves
• Scissors
• Sterile eye wash solution
• Alcohol swab
• Band-Aids
• Adhesive tape
• Non-adhesive dressing
• Crepe bandage
• Wound dressing
• Safety Pins
Mike of ElephantRemovals.co.uk of the eponymous removal firm also says: “Avoid injuries or damages to you, your goods, property and vehicle (often suspensions are damaged) when moving home. Choose a moving company that cares, and is equipped with their own robust double wall specially made moving boxes and other packaging materials. A company that provides full expert packing and unpacking service, removes things from windows or balcony using crane or hoist hire, dismantles furniture then reassembles, disconnects washing machine etc as experience does matter”.
