20 Moving Safety Tips: Stay Safe When Moving

by | Feb 5, 2021 | Features

If you are moving, it is essential to keep yourself and your items safe. If you are moving a very heavy item, hire a  mover to help. Make sure to use good moving boxes so that your items don’t fall through the bottom and get damaged. Protect your back by not bending or arching your back when you lift a heavy item. Instead, use your legs to generate your strength. Finally, wear good shoes that have good grip so you don’t slip and fall while moving things.

Key Takeaways:

  • The most important step to take to ensure a safe move is to ask for help when you need. Having professionals come in and lend a hand is imperative.
  • A successful and safe move starts with a robust plan including proper measuring, scheduling, and thought on heavier items like furniture.
  • A safe move is one that does not forgo proper packing supplies and uses the appropriate boxes and packing for the items being moved. This includes not overpacking boxes.
