Moving Companies that handle hazardous material moves. Choose the moving company that knows how to ship hazardous items properly.

Handling Hazardous Material, Batteries and Electrolytes

There is an important thing to consider when you are moving items that are hazardous. Make sure that you choose the right company to move these types of items. If your moving company does not handle these types of items properly, then it can be disastrous.

Does your moving company have a contingency plan for hazardous materials? Are they licensed and certified? Remember that accidents begin where safety ends!

Safety is extremely important to us here at Buehler Companies, this is why we are going to break down our safety plan for you and for others.

Protecting human health and the environment is not only your moving companies duty, it’s their responsibility!

Here are some of the actions that need to be taken when you have a spill of these toxic materials:

Assess the scene and confirm that there are no injuries and that the immediate area is not at risk for potential danger.
Stop any discharge of flow of hazardous material immediately.
Contain materials by means of a dike, absorbent pillows and if no other material is available, make a small pit to minimize the speed of the material and prevent it from spreading. Do not endanger yourself or others while attempting to minimize the spill.
Your moving company should already have soda ash and the proper spill kit on the truck if they are a certified hazardous materials handling company.
All incidents should be reported immediately to the Service Center Manager and Safety Manager.
Keep all bystanders away from the scene and lay out caution tape to prevent people from getting near toxic materials.
If there are flammables and/or combustible type materials, keep all sources of ignition and flames away from the materials. Do not smoke near the spill area and stop bystanders from smoking.
The home office would have dispatched a clean up crew at this time. Only certified partners may clean up the toxic materials. Secure the scene until the clean up crew arrives to handle the items properly.

If you have an emergency spill that is out of control, please call 911 immediately.

Here at Buehler Companies, safety is our number one concern when handling hazardous materials moves!

Moving a Trade Show or a Booth? Hire The Right Moving Company!

Trade Shows and Booths require the right kind of Moving Company. There are a lot of different things that go into Moving for these particular shipments. Buehler Companies understands that you have to be on time otherwise the Convention Center will hire a 3^rd party company to move the freight for you. This can result in thousands of dollars spent unnecessarily. If you are relocating a Trade Show or a Booth, give us a call so we can show you how to save money.

Our certified drivers understand that they have to wait at the marshalling yard in line in order to be loaded. All of our pricing includes the waiting so you are never surprised with unsuspected charges. Make sure that you ask the right questions before choosing your next moving company to service your Trade Show.

Here are some good questions to ask your moving company! We hope this helps J

Does your pricing include waiting time at both origin and destination?

Do you understand that in most cases, your driver will be required to wait at a marshalling yard and should not go directly to the Convention Center?

Does your driver have a pallet jack and is he willing to load the shipment off the floor if necessary?

Do your drivers carry pads and straps in case equipment is top heavy?

Do you have an online tracking system so I can track where your driver is?

Does your driver take a detailed inventory? If so, can you provide an example?

Are all of your drivers and moving crews background checked? If so, what is your background check policy?

If you have additional questions, you can always contact us!
