Junk Removal Safety Policy

Safety First With McCoy's Junk Removal

Around here, it’s always safety first. From the first moments on any project, safety is the number one priority for our clients, their property, and our team members.

Client Safety

Safety first always applies to the safety of our clients and their property. Our team members are trained in safety measures regarding lifting and transporting items to help our client avoid physical injury from doing it themselves. That’s why they call us here at McCoy’s Junk Removal! And although you may want to help us, there’s no need. It’s our job to clear away the junk you no longer want or need. One of the reasons to call McCoy’s Junk Removal to help haul away a heavy load is to prevent injury to yourself, your family or friends. Since we’re trained in the proper procedures, let us do the heavy work for you.

Team Safety From Physical Injury

We are required to lift heavy objects, a task that could be hazardous to our physical safety if not done correctly. That’s where training in proper lifting techniques comes into play. We are prepared for heavy loads, we think about how best to lift and maneuver objects like pianos, sofas and refrigerators. We look ahead to the pathway to clear any obstacles, prepare for steps up or down, and know about proper body position. Lifting, carrying, and even setting down a heavy load can tax the body in different ways. Working smart is the best way to avoid physical injury from heavy loads.

Safety First From Biohazards

Biohazards are any biological material that can cause a risk to human or animal health. Some of the biohazards we could potentially come into contact with at McCoy’s Junk Removal include blood and bodily fluids, human or animal waste, mold and fungus spores, and industrial chemicals. Biohazards can also include viruses, toxins or things like E.coli, HIV and tuberculosis. If we encounter a biohazard that we are not equipped to deal with, we may refuse the job. The safety of our workers is too important to us to expose them. We may need to recommend another professional to handle the job of cleaning or clearing a home or items that present a biohazard.

Safety First from Hazardous Materials

There are certain items that we cannot take in a general junk haul; items that need to be handled individually to prevent biohazards. We don’t want these chemicals to spill into our trucks to contaminate other items, and potentially spill out onto roadways. Nor do we want to expose ourselves to environmental hazards. Items like paint, kerosene, gasoline, fertilizer, pool chemicals, ammonia, bleach, antifreeze, mercury-containing fluorescent light bults, freon coolant and just some of the items we must avoid. McCoy’s Junk Removal is even prevented by law from hauling many hazardous materials. These items must be disposed of at appropriate waste collection stations.
