Removal Companies Fulham is committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment for our employees, clients, contractors and members of the public. This Health and Safety policy sets out our approach to managing risks associated with home moves, commercial relocations, packing, loading, transport and storage services within our service area.
We recognise our legal and moral duty to prevent accidents, injuries and ill health arising from our work activities. Health and Safety is an integral part of how we plan and deliver every removal project.
Our key Health and Safety objectives are to:
Identify, assess and control hazards associated with removals, including manual handling, vehicle operations, use of equipment and work at height.
Provide clear instructions, information, training and supervision so that our team can work safely and competently.
Protect clients, visitors, neighbours and members of the public from risks arising from our removal operations.
Promote a positive safety culture in which everyone understands their responsibilities and feels able to report hazards or concerns.
Continuously review and improve our Health and Safety performance and working practices.
Senior management at Removal Companies Fulham has overall responsibility for ensuring that this Health and Safety policy is implemented, maintained and reviewed regularly. Management will:
Ensure that suitable and sufficient risk assessments are carried out for all key activities, including packing, lifting, carrying, loading, unloading and driving.
Provide appropriate resources, including time, equipment and training, to support safe working practices.
Monitor compliance with this policy and all relevant Health and Safety legislation and guidance.
Investigate any accidents, incidents or near misses to identify causes and implement corrective actions.
Review this policy periodically, and whenever there are significant changes in our operations or legislation.
Every employee of Removal Companies Fulham shares responsibility for maintaining a safe working environment. All staff are expected to:
Take reasonable care of their own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by their actions.
Follow all safety procedures, training and instructions provided by the company.
Use vehicles, tools, lifting equipment and protective equipment correctly and report any defects immediately.
Cooperate with management in the implementation of this policy and any related safety measures.
Report hazards, near misses, accidents or unsafe conditions as soon as they are identified.
Before any removal work is carried out, the relevant risks will be assessed and appropriate control measures put in place. This may include:
Assessing access routes, stairways, lifts, driveways, parking and loading areas at collection and delivery addresses.
Identifying heavy, awkward or fragile items requiring special handling, lifting equipment or additional manpower.
Planning the sequence of work to reduce manual handling risks, avoid congestion and maintain safe escape routes.
Reviewing weather and traffic conditions that may affect safe loading, unloading or transport.
Ensuring that necessary protective clothing and equipment are available and used when required.
Manual handling is a central part of removal work and can present a significant risk of injury if not managed properly. Removal Companies Fulham will:
Provide manual handling training for staff, including safe lifting techniques and team lifting methods.
Use lifting aids such as trolleys, dollies, straps and ramps where reasonably practicable.
Encourage staff to assess each lift before starting and to seek assistance with heavy or awkward loads.
Avoid unnecessary lifting by planning routes and using appropriate equipment whenever possible.
Ensure rest breaks and rotation of tasks where work involves repetitive lifting or carrying.
Our vehicles are essential for providing removal services throughout our service area and must be operated safely at all times. We will:
Maintain all vehicles in roadworthy condition with regular inspections and servicing.
Ensure that only authorised and competent drivers operate company vehicles.
Provide training on safe loading, securing of loads and use of tail lifts or ramps.
Require drivers to follow all road traffic laws, speed limits and parking regulations.
Plan routes and schedules to minimise driver fatigue and encourage safe driving behaviour.
Removal Companies Fulham will ensure that all equipment used in the course of removal work is suitable, properly maintained and used correctly. This includes:
Regular inspection and maintenance of trolleys, ramps, straps and any mechanical lifting aids.
Providing personal protective equipment such as gloves, safety footwear and high visibility clothing where necessary.
Offering instruction in the correct use of packing materials, tools and securing devices.
Removing from service any defective or unsafe equipment until repaired or replaced.
We are committed to carrying out our work with consideration for clients, neighbours and the general public. We will:
Organise loading and unloading activities to minimise obstruction to entrances, pavements and shared areas.
Use warning signs or barriers where reasonably practicable if work takes place in areas accessed by others.
Handle belongings with care, reducing the risk of damage, spills or trip hazards.
Keep work areas as tidy as possible and remove waste or packing materials in a timely manner.
Effective Health and Safety management depends on good communication and appropriate training. Removal Companies Fulham will:
Provide induction training for new employees, covering our Health and Safety procedures.
Offer ongoing training to reflect changes in equipment, work methods or legislation.
Brief teams before each job on specific risks, access issues and any client requirements.
Encourage feedback from staff on safety concerns, suggestions and improvements.
We maintain procedures to deal with emergencies such as accidents, fire, vehicle incidents or sudden illness. All staff must:
Follow the emergency arrangements communicated to them, including evacuation routes and meeting points where applicable.
Report all accidents, injuries, near misses and dangerous occurrences to management as soon as possible.
Cooperate with any investigation and support the implementation of corrective measures.
This Health and Safety policy is reviewed regularly to ensure it remains suitable for the nature and scale of our removal operations. Removal Companies Fulham is committed to continuous improvement and will adjust procedures, training and resources as necessary to maintain high standards of safety throughout our service area.
