Insurance and Safety Commitments at Storage Feltham
Storage Feltham is committed to delivering insured, safe and compliant removal and storage services. We understand that you are trusting us with valuable possessions, so we place insurance cover and robust safety procedures at the centre of every job we undertake. From comprehensive public liability insurance to staff training and risk assessments, our aim is to protect your property, our team and the public at all times.
Insured Removal Services for Peace of Mind
Our insured removal services are designed to give you confidence from the moment we arrive to the final item being placed in your new property or storage unit. We operate with appropriate insurance cover that reflects the nature of our work, the value of the items we handle, and the environments in which we operate.
This approach means that you can expect a professional and accountable service. We handle household goods, office equipment, documents and specialist items with care, backed by structured procedures and insurance protection. Our team is trained to minimise risk and safeguard your belongings throughout lifting, loading, transport and unloading.
Public Liability Insurance
Public liability insurance is a critical part of our safety and protection framework. It is in place to help protect against claims arising from accidental damage to third party property or accidental injury to members of the public during our operations.
This cover is particularly important when we work in shared spaces such as apartment blocks, offices, retail units or public areas around homes and business premises. It supports the professional standards we maintain, ensuring that our customers and those around our work sites have an additional level of reassurance.
We regularly review the level and scope of our public liability cover to ensure it remains appropriate for the size of our projects and the environments we work in. Our operational planning takes this into account so that jobs are organised and executed with both safety and compliance in mind.
Staff Training and Competence
Well trained staff are central to safe and efficient removals. At Storage Feltham, all team members receive structured training covering manual handling, safe lifting techniques, use of equipment, vehicle loading, and working in confined or shared spaces.
Training is not a one off exercise. New staff undergo an induction that includes health and safety awareness, incident reporting, and our internal procedures. Existing staff attend refresher sessions to keep skills current and to align with industry best practice and any regulatory developments.
Supervisors and team leaders are responsible for monitoring on site performance, providing guidance and ensuring that procedures are followed. When required, we provide task specific briefings so that each member of the crew understands their role, the hazards present and the control measures in place.
Personal Protective Equipment
Personal protective equipment, or PPE, is a key layer of protection for our teams and contributes to safer working environments for everyone involved. Depending on the task and location, our staff may use protective gloves, high visibility clothing, safety footwear, and other appropriate items of PPE.
The selection of PPE is based on the type of work being carried out and the findings of our risk assessments. For example, carrying heavy or bulky items, working in areas with vehicle movements, or handling materials that may present sharp edges will require specific items of protective equipment.
We issue PPE to staff, ensure it is maintained in good condition, and replace it when necessary. Team leaders check that PPE is correctly worn and used on site. This disciplined approach reduces the likelihood of accidents and helps us maintain consistent standards on every removal and storage project.
Risk Assessment Process
Our risk assessment process underpins all aspects of safety and insurance at Storage Feltham. Before starting work, we consider the specific characteristics of the property, access points, vehicle positioning, stairways, lifts, and any unusual risks such as fragile structures or restricted spaces.
We identify potential hazards such as trip risks, manual handling challenges, vehicle movements, and interactions with the public. For each identified hazard, we put in place control measures. These may include using additional staff for heavy items, planning alternative access routes, scheduling work to avoid peak traffic times, or using specialised handling equipment.
Risk assessments are not static documents; they are live processes. Our crews continuously monitor conditions on site and may adapt control measures when circumstances change, such as weather conditions, unexpected obstacles, or variations in access. Any significant changes are communicated to the team so everyone remains informed and aligned with the safety plan.
Safe Working Procedures and Compliance
To support our insurance and safety commitments, we implement clear safe working procedures. These procedures cover vehicle loading and unloading, securing items during transit, protecting floors and surfaces, and maintaining clear walkways to reduce slip and trip risks.
We also maintain our vehicles and equipment to high standards, carrying out routine checks and servicing in line with manufacturer guidance and regulatory requirements. This reduces the risk of mechanical failures and helps to ensure that lifting and securing equipment is fit for purpose.
Our incident reporting and review process allows us to learn from near misses or accidents. Any reported issues are investigated and, where appropriate, lead to updates in training, procedures or risk assessments. This culture of continuous improvement supports both safety and the effectiveness of our insurance arrangements.
