How We Define Safety

Safety is not just about preventing accidents—it's about creating an environment where our team stays safe and your personal items are managed responsibly.

Our safety measures include:

• Rigorous Training – Our crew members are regularly trained on proper lifting techniques, equipment handling, and safe driving protocols.
• 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 hazards 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 are committed to protecting our employees. Our movers receive:

• Ongoing Safety Training – From physical handling tasks to proper truck packing, our team members are trained continuously to prevent workplace injuries.

• 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 making sure your belongings stay secure from start to finish. We safeguard your items with:

• Protective Padding and Wrapping – All furniture and fragile items are wrapped securely to prevent scratches, dents, and breaks.
