Moving Preparation
Try to be prepared for eventualities before you start your move. Have a first aid kit packed, and make sure to clear the pathway between your home and the moving vehicle of all potential hazards. If you’re moving out of an apartment building, let your neighbors know so they can potentially stay clear of the moving path. Its ideal to lessen the chances of bumping into people.
Leg Lifting and Stretching
Always stretch before your move, and make sure to always lift up from your legs not your back. Keep your back straight, don’t bend it, and bend your knees – and lift straight up using your legs. This protects your back and allows you to preserve balance.
Be Careful How You Carry
Make sure to always carry objects, especially heavy ones, over a clear path.l only carry amounts of weight that you can easily manage, and make a few trips rather than trying to compound all your items into just one trip. Walk slowly as much as possible, and try to hold boxes close to your body. Remember, moving tools like dollies, straps, hand trucks, and glides are your friend.
Assistance
Make sure to get assistance for moving heavy items like disassembled furniture. Make sure to work well with your partners, and discuss your plans for moving an item before you pick it up. Stay conscientious of needs for breaks. If you’re giving an item to another person, don’t let go of it until you’re certain they can carry that amount of weight.
