Be aware of safety for yourself and those moving or helping you. When packing, special consideration needs to be given to:
Flammable Substances
- Cleaning fluids, acids, aerosol cans and fuel - dispose of prior to your move or carry carefully in your own vehicle
- Drain fuel from lawn mowers and other equipment
- Check removalist's insurance cover - it may become invalid if such substances are carried by them
Other Substances
- Paint, thinners and oils - discard leaking containers as these are highly flammable substances
- Seal any containers holding other liquids securely with tape and place them in waterproof bags
Personal Injury
- Read the carton labels so you know what you are lifting
- Take care when lifting and remember to bend your knees
- Watch out for electrical cords and plugs that may get in the way of furniture being moved
