Our Safety Philosophy

Safety is not just about preventing accidents—it's about maintaining a setting where crew members are protected and your personal items are treated with respect.

Our safety measures include:

• Rigorous Training – Our crew members are regularly trained on proper lifting techniques, equipment handling, and road safety procedures.
• Protective Equipment – We use padded blankets, tie-down straps, hand trucks, and dollies to safeguard both your belongings and our team.
• Pre-Move Inspections – We inspect homes and facilities to identify any safety issues such as unstable stairs, cramped pathways, or slippery floors.
• Licensed and Insured – Shoreview Moving and Storage meets all municipal, regional, and national regulations and carries full liability and cargo insurance.

Employee Safety Standards

We prioritize the safety of our crew. Our movers receive:

• Ongoing Safety Training – From physical handling tasks to secure loading, our team members are guided through proven techniques to prevent workplace injuries.
• Use of Safety Gear – Gloves, back support equipment, slip-resistant shoes, and PPE are provided as required.
• Safe Work Conditions – We monitor weather, access conditions, and equipment functionality before and during all relocations.
• DOT-Compliant Vehicles – All trucks are kept in top condition with scheduled assessments according to Department of Transportation regulations.

Protecting Your Belongings

A key component of Moving Safety is maintaining the safety of your possessions during every phase of the move. We safeguard your items with:

• Protective Padding and Wrapping – All tables, chairs, and breakables are protected with proper padding to prevent scuffs, damage, or breakage.
• Secure Loading Techniques – Our crew uses load stabilization strategies and proper stacking methods to keep items steady while in transport.
• Specialized Handling – For sensitive, valuable, or unique items, we use custom methods and the right tools.
• Inventory Tracking – We track and log every packed object to prevent loss or misplacement.

• FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) standards for interstate moves

When you go with a provider that fully understands and adheres to these regulations, you help guard against hidden expenses, moving slowdowns, or accidental losses.
