6 Tips to Having A Safe Move

It is and exciting adventure whenever you get a new place. It could be for a new job, marriage, or a number of other reasons. There is something that all movers have in common though and that is they need to get the move done safely. Below are a few tips to help you have an injury free  and accident-free move.

1. Get Rid of Flammable Items Before the Move

They are simply not worth the risk of bring them along. So lose the extra fireworks from the 4th of July and that half gallon of gas in that container or better yet pore it into your car.

2. Wear Closed Toed Shoes on Moving Day

Yes, it might be hot out and you are going to do a lot of lifting but sandals are not a good way to stay cool. A box can drop crushing your toes and ruining your day while giving a nasty out of budget medical bill to go with it.

3. Pace Yourself

It is important not to overly exert yourself. So when you plan give yourself some slack time in your schedule. Heat exhaustion and other injuries are a real threat.

4. Proper Hydration and Nourishment

It is important to take care of yourself while you are doing all that lifting and hard work. A big part of that is to drink plenty of WATER (Not Soda) and have a healthy meal before you start. If you have help it would be nice of you to provide food.

5. Use Your Legs When Lifting

Your legs are much stronger than your arms and more importantly your back. Injuring your back through unsafe lifting technics is a painful and expensive mistake.

6. Update Your Homeowners or Renters Insurance

A new home or apartment means new things you need to consider with your insurance. A great way to get this taken care of is by talking with the great insurance agents at visit them today at Fida Insurance Group and visiting them at https://www.fidainsurancegroup.com/blog  

5 Things to Consider Before Deciding on a Life Insurance Policy

Life insurance may not be a fun topic to consider, but it’s good to have it as a safety measure for the loved ones in your life. You’re used to people depending on you, which means you need to have the right policy in your back pocket, so you know everyone will be provided for. Here are 5 things to consider before you decide on a policy.

1. Short-Term or Long-Term

Term life insurance and permanent life insurance offer different benefits for different people. Those who want term typically choose when they have a set amount of time they want covered (e.g., until their children turn 18.) Permanent will not only cover you for your whole life, but it also allows you to build up a savings over time.

2. Lifestyle

Rates depend on your lifestyle, so you’ll need to keep that in mind before you call up your first company. Those who do particularly high-risk activities need to be prepared for an assessment before receiving a quote.

3. Cost

A term policy will typically cost less than a permanent policy, but it’s also important to remember that having the protection in place is sometimes necessary for a longer time period than term can afford you.

4. Term to Perm

You may want to learn more about convertible term policies before you decide. Typically these will let you convert your policy from term to permanent, and you can do so without seeing the doctor. You will need to pay more for these premiums though.

5. Finding Help

5 Tips For ATV Riders

When you have an ATV in Monroe, CT, you want to make sure you do all you can to keep you and your ATV as safe as can be. A few tips will help you along the way – and perhaps give you a few things to think about.

Get the Right Gear

Take the time to buy the right gear so you are safe while out on your ATV. What you choose is up to you, though it is a good idea to have a protective helmet, over the ankle boots, goggles, and gloves. When you ride, it’s also advantageous to wear long pants and a long shirt.

Find a Home for Your ATV

ATV theft is common and therefore you want to find a safe home for your ATV. You can lock it up in a garage, enclose it behind a locked fence, or anywhere else.

Practice Riding

As with anything, practice makes perfect. Be sure you are being as safe as you can by learning how to ride your ATV before you take it on rougher terrain.

Get the Insurance

Having an insurance policy on your ATV is important so that if there is damage or theft, you are able to file a claim as opposed to having to pay for it all out of pocket. Affordable policies are available, especially when you make comparisons between multiple companies.

Explore the Areas

Once you have the right insurance and you are comfortable on your ATV, start exploring. This can be throughout New England or across the rest of the country.
