How to Avoid Injuries During Moving Day
In this blog entry, the professional TriState area residential moving service team here at Noah’s Ark Moving and Storage will detail a brief guide to moving day safety and how to avoid injuries during your home relocation.
What are the common injuries associated with moving day?

- Leg, foot, arm, and hand injuries
- Cuts
- Scrapes
- Slips and falls
What are the best ways to stay safe during your residential move?
- Lift Properly– Injuries often happen when heavy boxes are lifted during your move. Always use proper lifting techniques to avoid this. Always bend at the knees, keep your back straight, and use leg muscles to lift up as opposed to your back.
- Assistance– Always ask for assistance during your move, especially for portions of your move when you don’t have the help of a moving professional. If you need to lift up a heavy object and don’t know if you can do it yourself, ask someone for help to make the entire process safer.
- Utilizing Proper Moving Tools – We recommend purchasing or renting moving equipment like hand trucks and dollies to lower the chances of injuries during moving day.
- Breaks and Hydration – Make sure to take periodic breaks, don’t overexert yourself, and stay regularly hydrated.
