By Sharonne Penickata


Relocation day could be full of very last minute tasks and lots of stress. Unfortunately, when you get in a hurry with that big day, you can easily end up having an injury. Perhaps you reach right down to grab a box and find yourself pulling a muscle. Maybe you grab something too large and drop it on your foot. Various sorts of injuries may appear on moving day, specially when you're in a hurry and have many tasks to finish. However, good quality information and tips for preparation can assist you to avoid many of the most common moving day injuries. Listed below are some tips and ideas will avoid adding an accident to the stress of moving day.

Learn to Lift Properly

Small injuries just like a paper cut or stubbed toe can happen when you are moving. However, injuries which are much more serious can happen as well, for example pulled muscles, torn tendons and ligaments or perhaps back injuries. To reduce your chance of such serious injuries, it is important to discover ways to lift properly whenever you move items. By incorporating lifting tips, you can lift easily and safely, avoiding injuries that may turn your move into a disaster.

To begin with, make sure you always bend at your knees instead of at the waist whenever you lift something. Bending on the knees allows your strong leg muscles to complete the lifting as opposed to pulling on the back muscles. Additionally it is crucial that you keep the box or other item close to your body while you're lifting it. Avoid twisting your body while listing, simply because this can increase the potential for an accident. Don't lift items over your head, as you could drop them and result in a serious head trauma. It's also wise to give attention to keeping legs apart and ensure you've got secure footing. As opposed to trying to jerk an object when lifting, give attention to lifting it having a slow, smooth motion. When possible, it's better to use a good dolly to cope with heavy objects so you don't need to carry them and chance getting injured.

Create aDevelop a Moving Day First Aid Kit

By using correct lifting techniques can help to minimize serious moving day injuries. However, you never know when little injuries can happen when you're moving. For that reason, you will need to have your personal moving day emergency first aid kit ready, since many of your first-aid items could be packed. Finish off a kit and ensure you have it within your vehicle so it is easily accessible. What can you need in the good emergency first aid kit? Here are a few products to include in your kit so you can handle basic injuries that could occur:

- Hand towels

- Safety pins

- Band-Aids

- Wound dressings

- Alcohol swabs

- Sterile eye wash solution

- Gloves

- Adhesive tap

- Crepe bandages

- Non-adhesive dressings

- Medical Pamphlet (or put in a First-aid app in your phone)

- Antiseptic

- Scissors

- Tylenol or Ibuprophen

While you cannot eliminate all of the stress that comes with moving day, you are able to work to make sure you get throughout the day safely. Using these helpful tips, you can go into moving day well prepared, making an effort to prevent any injuries.
