Safety During a Home Removal

posted in Moving by

Moving house? At whatever stage you may be in the relocation process, you likely know that it’s a fairly complicated endeavour. Often the start of a move is the hardest part: determining where to relocate and deciding when to go. Simply choosing to move is in itself a very big decision. Because of this, it is imperative to have a solid plan in place for your home removal. From organisation to packing to transport, there’s plenty to be considered.

 

One aspect that may not be top of mind as you plan for your move is safety. But safety is paramount for an undertaking of this nature, particularly if you have small children or pets. Fortunately, it’s not too difficult to ensure your home removal is safe. All it takes is a few key elements and you’ll be well on your way to a pleasant, successful, and safe move.

Organisation = Safety

To keep your home and its guests and residents safe during the removals process, good organisation is imperative. As you pack your belongings, it’s easy for items to get scattered and misplaced, becoming a potential concern or tripping hazard. To avoid this, pack in stages or focus on one room at a time. Make it a household rule to always clear and check walking areas after packing or sorting. As you pack, label your boxes clearly and legibly. This is especially important when packing any items of a hazardous or safety-related nature. Leave essentials like your first aid kit to be packed last, or be sure to clearly label the containers and keep them accessible. If you have young children, pack chemicals or other hazardous items with extra care, keeping the boxes well out of reach. You might also consider placing these materials in secure containers with locking mechanisms.

Have a Plan for Moving Day

While moving is not inherently dangerous, moving day is when accidents are more likely to occur. Heavy furniture is being lifted, precarious items transported, and a great deal of action is happening. Create a plan for your moving day to minimise problems. If you have young kids or pets, arrange for a day-of sitter to keep them out of the way (and entertained!). If no other option is available, place your pets in a secure room away from the chaos of the day. It will keep them safe and calm. Older children may be able to assist with moving duties, but be sure to prepare them on ways to stay safe on the moving day. They should keep clear as your removalists handle your furniture and other items.

 

Let your removalist team manage the furniture and other items. These experienced professionals know the best, safest methods for handling and transporting your belongings. Don’t attempt to lift heavy items on your own. This could be a recipe for an aching back or other injury.
