With their latest guide, Movers.com aims to highlight the potential hazards of moving. Back injuries, broken hands, fingers, and toes, knee pain, and sprained ankles are all very common occurrences during relocation, and these types of preventable injuries are often caused when individuals forego proper precautions in favor of speeding up the moving process.
Movers.com says that adequate preparation is an important first step in dealing with injuries and recommends putting together a first-aid kit for the day of the move. The kit should contain bandages, gauze pads, antibacterial cream, alcohol wipes, tweezers, and other supplies that can address the immediate needs of any individual who sustains a minor injury. While a well-stocked first-aid kit can alleviate sprains, splinters, and cuts, Movers.com stresses that more serious wounds may require medical attention.
Many moving-related injuries also occur when individuals attempt to carry too much weight or decline to use proper techniques when lifting a heavy object. Movers.com's guide says that readers can avoid muscle strain by ensuring that the weight of each box doesn't exceed 50 pounds, lifting with their legs and not their backs, and getting help from others when necessary. Readers can also consider using proper moving equipment, such as hand trucks and dollies, to transport heavier boxes and large furniture.
Movers.com also cautions readers to survey the areas in and around their homes for other potential safety hazards, such as uneven pavement, slippery surfaces, or low-hanging tree branches. By keeping paths clear of any debris and obstructions, allocating tasks to suitable people, and planning accordingly, individuals and their families can avoid any complications that may arise in the chaos of a move.
Should Bridgeport residents decide to hire professional movers to help them with their relocation, they can use Movers.com's directory to find pre-screened, affordable moving services in their area.
