New figures have revealed that two-fifths of minor injuries that resulted in people taking three or more days off work were caused by handling, lifting or carrying.
Those who are moving from rented accommodation to a studio or one-bedroom flat can often choose to shift their belongings themselves but this could cause an injury if they are not properly trained.
However, movers could still save money by using a man with a van instead of a large removals company, according to The Removal Supermarket, who make it easy to get free quotes from a number of companies in the local area.
Phil Grace, liability risk manager for Norwich Union, says: "The first step to reducing risk is to consider whether manual handling can be avoided."
Movers will need to ensure that the service they use is insured and that the van can carry the largest items.
Man and van companies can be just as reliable, providing adequate research is done and the right questions are asked.
