When moving house or flat, a large number of people opt to hire a van rather than paying a removal company. When lifting heavy objects there are a few thing you need to watch out for.
When lifting heavy objects in and out of the van, it is important to observe a few safety rules to reduce any chance of injury.
Test the weight of an object or box before lifting. If it is too heavy, make sure you ask someone for assistance or if possible, break it into smaller parts.
Ensure the path is clear from where you are to the van, ensure there are no hazardous objects which may cause you to fall., Open all doors in advance whenever possible, including the van door.
When liftin heavy objects, ensure your footing is firm, your feet should be shoulder width apart and you should squat to the ground keeping your back straight. Next, straighten your knees steadily, keeping your back straight. Don't turn or twist your body.
Keep the box or object steady and close to your body, take short steps and keep your feet shoulder width apart. If you feel tired, put the object down and rest.
Wear gloves if possible to protect your hands, and when available, use a trolley or lifting aid as this will make the process much easier, and ensure the objects are securely loaded in the van and that the weight is evenly distributed.
