1. 6 Safety Tips for Office
Relocation

2. Introduction
 Office relocations can be stressful periods for any organization.
 They are not a part of your day-to-day schedule and there is an
enormous amount of deconstruction and reconstruction involved.
 Before the impending relocation process, it is important that you
hold a brief meeting to educate your employees about the various
hazards that may occur during the office relocation.
 Instruct employees about the measures to avoid these hazards,
like basic first aid techniques, proper lifting techniques for boxes,
and location of the fire escape routes in case of a fire.

Stress-free And Safe Office
Relocations

4. Always have a checklist
 A checklist has to be maintained for things that need to be done
within a timeline.
 Encourage your employees to make checklists of their belongings,
as this will help proper planning and will prevent misplacing of
items.

5. Delegate departments
 If you are a large organization, it may be a good idea to use the
relevant departments to assist you in the process of relocation.
 For example, if you have a delivery team with experience in
handling and packing of goods, they can help out during
relocation and save you a lot of time and money.

6. Ensure heavy lifting is done by the
relocation company
 Although your employees may be keen to help out with packing
and moving heavy boxes, this might not be a good idea since
most injuries during relocation occur due to improper lifting and
handling of heavy goods.
 If employees are injured during relocation, the company will be
liable for their medical expenses which could be prohibitive.

7. Keep access ways clear for
movement
 During relocation, it is very common to find boxes piled up in
hallways or blocking the entry and exit routes of buildings.
 In addition to being a major safety hazard, this can create an
obstruction for the personnel involved in moving the goods.

8. Ensure that your furniture
complies with safety standards
 When you get new furniture for your new office, ensure that it
meets all ergonomic design standards and safety requirements.
 If you have furniture that has been dismantled in the process of
relocation, you must ensure that the relocation company
assembles it correctly, while adhering to all additional safety
requirements.

9. Ensure that your employees are
familiar with the new location
 Since your employees are moving to a new location, it is
important to make them familiar with the new entry and exit
routes, the fire escape routes, rules and regulations of the new
building, company phone lines, emergency contacts etc.

10. Conclusion
 If keeping up with your daily organizational responsibilities,
relocating your office, and ensuring the safety of your employees
at the same time seems like a daunting task, it’s a good idea to
hire a professional relocation company like Al Sabaa Movers that
