Insurance and Safety Commitments at Storage Newbury Park
Storage Newbury Park is committed to delivering a safe, reliable and fully insured removal and storage service. We understand that you are trusting us with your possessions, so robust insurance cover, professional training, and strict safety procedures are central to everything we do. This page explains how our public liability insurance, staff training, use of personal protective equipment and risk assessment process work together to protect you, your property and our team.
Fully Insured Removal and Storage Services
As an insured removal company, Storage Newbury Park operates with comprehensive insurance protections designed to give you confidence from the moment we arrive to the moment your items are in place. Our insurance arrangements are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure continued compliance with industry expectations, landlord and site requirements, and our own internal standards.
Our insurance cover is structured to provide reassurance in a wide range of situations that can arise during removals and storage handling. Whether our team is working in a private home, apartment building, office environment or shared access area, our focus is on minimising risk while maintaining clear and appropriate protection.
Public Liability Insurance
Public liability insurance is a key component of our overall safety and risk management framework. It is in place to help safeguard members of the public and clients if an incident occurs during our work. This includes situations where third party property might be damaged or where accidental injury could occur in connection with our services.
Our public liability insurance reflects the nature of our operations as a removals and storage provider. It covers activity such as moving items through communal areas, loading and unloading vehicles, working on shared driveways, and operating around other residents, staff or visitors. We maintain clear internal procedures to ensure that our team understands the limits and responsibilities that come with this cover.
While public liability insurance is there to respond in the event of an unforeseen incident, our principal objective is to avoid such incidents altogether through proactive planning, training and safe systems of work.
Comprehensive Staff Training
The quality and safety of our service depends heavily on the professionalism of our staff. Storage Newbury Park invests in structured training so that each team member understands how to carry out their role safely, efficiently and with respect for client property.
Training covers a range of practical and safety topics, including correct lifting and handling techniques, safe use of equipment such as trolleys and dollies, loading and securing items in vehicles, and careful manoeuvring in tight spaces, stairwells and corridors. This helps to reduce the risk of damage to your items as well as the risk of injury to our staff and anyone nearby.
New team members work under supervision until they demonstrate that they can consistently apply our safety procedures in real environments. Ongoing refresher training and toolbox talks are used to reinforce good practice, respond to new risks and share learning from past jobs. This continuous approach ensures that safety is not treated as a one off requirement but as a core part of day to day operations.
Personal Protective Equipment and Safe Working Practices
Personal protective equipment, often referred to as PPE, is an essential part of our safety system. Storage Newbury Park provides appropriate PPE to staff according to the tasks they are undertaking and the environments in which they are working.
Typical PPE used by our team includes protective gloves to improve grip and prevent minor injuries, safety footwear to protect against dropped items, and high visibility clothing when working near traffic or in shared access areas where clear visibility is important. Where specific tasks demand it, additional protective equipment may be used in line with the findings of a risk assessment.
PPE is only effective when it is used correctly, so our training includes instruction on when and how to wear each item. Supervisors monitor compliance with PPE requirements, and equipment is checked regularly for wear or damage and replaced when necessary. PPE is combined with safe working methods, such as team lifting and careful route planning, to provide layered protection.
Structured Risk Assessment Process
Every move and storage job has its own characteristics, from the layout of the property to the type of items being handled. To manage these variables, Storage Newbury Park follows a structured risk assessment process designed to identify potential hazards in advance and put suitable control measures in place.
Before starting work, our team evaluates factors such as access routes, staircases, lifts, parking arrangements, floor conditions, lighting and any specific client concerns. Items that may pose special challenges, such as large furniture, fragile pieces or heavy equipment, are also considered. This assessment guides decisions about staffing levels, equipment, PPE requirements and the sequence in which work will be carried out.
Where necessary, dynamic risk assessments are carried out on site to respond to changing conditions, such as unexpected obstacles, weather issues or the presence of additional people in the work area. Our aim is to prevent accidents and damage by anticipating issues rather than reacting after they occur.
Protecting Clients, Staff and Property
Insurance and safety are not separate considerations but interconnected elements of how Storage Newbury Park operates as an insured removal company. Public liability insurance provides a financial safety net, while staff training, PPE and risk assessments are designed to minimise the likelihood that this safety net will ever be needed.
By combining professional insurance cover with disciplined safety procedures, we work to protect you, your possessions, your property and our team at every stage of the removal and storage process. When you choose Storage Newbury Park, you can be reassured that safety and responsibility are built into the service from planning through to completion.
