Insurance and Safety
Insurance and Safety Standards at Haringey Movers
Haringey Movers is an insured removal company dedicated to providing a safe, secure and professionally managed moving experience. Our commitment to insurance, safety procedures and staff training is at the core of every service we deliver, whether you are moving home, relocating a business or requiring specialist handling for valuable items.
On this page, we explain how our public liability insurance, structured risk assessments, staff training and use of personal protective equipment work together to protect you, your property and our team.
Comprehensive Public Liability Insurance
As a fully insured removal company, Haringey Movers maintains public liability insurance designed to protect customers and members of the public during every stage of a move. This cover is in place for activities such as loading and unloading, carrying items through communal areas and transporting goods between properties.
Public liability insurance provides an important layer of security in the unlikely event that accidental damage or injury occurs in connection with our work. While our teams follow strict safety procedures to prevent incidents, we believe it is essential that customers have the reassurance that appropriate insurance protection is in place throughout their move.
Our insurance arrangements are reviewed regularly to ensure they remain suitable for the scale and nature of the removal services we provide. Details of our current public liability insurance can be supplied on request, giving you clear confirmation that your move is being handled by an insured removal company.
Safe Working Practices and Risk Assessments
Haringey Movers follows a structured risk assessment process for every move we undertake. This process allows us to identify potential hazards in advance and put controls in place to manage them effectively. Our aim is to minimise risks to you, your belongings, our staff and anyone else who may be affected by the work.
Before a move, we gather information about access points, staircases, lifts, parking arrangements and any items that may require special handling. For more complex moves, a member of our team may carry out a site visit to assess the environment in detail. The information gathered feeds into a written risk assessment and method statement that our crews follow on the day.
On the moving day itself, the team leader carries out a dynamic risk assessment, checking for any new or changed conditions such as wet floors, blocked access or unexpected obstacles. The crew is then briefed on the safest way to proceed, including manual handling techniques, equipment use and communication protocols.
This approach ensures that safety is not treated as a one off task, but as a continuous process from initial planning through to the completion of your move.
Professional Staff Training
The professionalism and competence of our staff are fundamental to our insurance and safety standards. Every member of the Haringey Movers team receives structured training before working on customer moves, and ongoing refreshers are provided to maintain high standards.
Training covers safe manual handling practices to reduce the risk of injury when lifting, carrying and loading items. Staff are taught how to assess the weight and shape of objects, when to work as a team, and how to make effective use of lifting equipment such as dollies and straps.
In addition, our teams are trained in safe driving and loading techniques, ensuring that vehicles are packed securely and that loads are distributed correctly to avoid shifting in transit. This not only protects your belongings but also supports safe and compliant road use.
Customer care and communication form another key part of our training programme. Our staff are instructed to explain what they are doing, seek clarification where needed and report any concerns promptly to a supervisor. This open communication contributes to a safer and more transparent moving process.
Personal Protective Equipment and Moving Equipment
Haringey Movers provides appropriate personal protective equipment to all members of our removal crews. Depending on the specific job and environment, this may include safety footwear, gloves, high visibility garments and other protective items designed to reduce the risk of injury.
Our commitment to PPE goes hand in hand with the use of professional moving equipment. We use trolleys, dollies, moving blankets, straps and floor protection materials to safeguard both our staff and your property. These tools help to prevent accidents such as trips, drops or damage to walls, floors and doorways.
Before each job, our team checks that all PPE and equipment are in good condition and suitable for the tasks ahead. Any items that are worn or damaged are removed from service and replaced, ensuring that safety is never compromised.
Ongoing Commitment to Improvement
Insurance and safety are not static obligations for us; they are areas in which we seek continuous improvement. We monitor feedback from customers and staff, review incident reports if any occur, and update our procedures and training in response to lessons learned.
By combining robust public liability insurance, thorough risk assessments, comprehensive staff training and proper use of personal protective equipment, Haringey Movers aims to deliver a consistently safe and reliable removal service. When you choose us as your insured removal company, you can be confident that the protection of people and property is built into every step of your move.
