Easy Move Furniture Removals Very Aware of New Health & Safety Measures

The health and safety of both their staff and their customers is very important to Easy Move Furniture Removals, which means they are very aware of the new Health & Safety measures recently enacted in the Health & Safety At Work Act. Occupational hazards can be avoided in the workplace, and empowering employees with the necessary information to acknowledge that there are possible hazards present while moving or lifting heavy objects is vitally important. In addition, by offering ways to prevent them, Easy Move Furniture Removals can ensure that these tasks can be completed in a safe manner. 

There are several risks involved when moving furniture or lifting heavy objects. Moving furniture requires heavy lifting; putting everyone involved in this type of work at risk, but there are several precautions that can be taken to reduce the risk of injury. Easy Move Furniture Removals’ staff are advised to wear lifting belts, gloves and appropriate footwear, (sturdy toe work boots with traction to avoid slipping).

The Easy Move team are also directed to utilise the appropriate equipment for the job, such as carts, hydraulic lifts and fork lifts when necessary, and if this equipment is not available they should alert their management staff. By knowing the weight of the furniture being moved; injury can be avoided. Without this knowledge, one individual may attempt to move an object that may require more than one person to accomplish the task safely.
