In its newest guide, Movers.com stresses the importance of preparation to avoid the risk of accidents or injury. Movers are advised to prepare a ‘moving first-aid kit’, including items such as bandages, gauze pads, and antibacterial cream, to quickly treat any minor injuries that may occur when packing or moving household items.
As explained in the guide, most moving-related injuries occur from lifting too much weight or using an improper lifting technique. Therefore, homeowners should enlist the help of others when lifting heavy items to ensure that the weight is evenly distributed, Movers.com recommends. In addition, it is important to limit the amount of items per packing box to no more than 50 pounds in weight, says the guide. “While it may not be possible for you to weigh every single box, simply pick up the box to see if you can lift it without feeling any strain. If you can stand steadily on your feet while holding it and walk without a problem, then the box is probably not too heavy.”
The guide details the proper lifting technique for avoiding back injuries when moving. Individuals are advised to squat, using the power from their legs to lift heavy weights. Bend over at the waist should be avoided, explains the guide, as this can put too much pressure on back muscles, resulting in injury. The experts at Movers.com also advise strapping heavy items to carrier trucks and dollies to limit the distance that heavy items need to be carried by hand.
Alongside careful lifting, the guide discusses the importance of preparing the environment for a move. Paths, roads, and driveways should be checked carefully for any potential hazards, such as uneven ground, snow, or low-hanging branches.
“Organisation is key,” says Movers.com. “Keep all pathways clear of obstacles and debris at all times. Keep heavy and light boxes separate from each other and assign jobs and roles to everyone involved, to streamline the moving process and prevent chaos.”
