When dismounting a forklift, there are some specific things to take into consideration. When dismounting for example, make sure to face the vehicle and to never jump from it. Maintain a 3-point stance, that means to consistently have both hands and one foot or vice-versa in contact with the machinery. Be sure to wear non-slippery and oil resistant shoes as proper protective shoes could certainly help to keep you safe. Do not wear loose clothing or dangling jewelry, since these things might become caught. Wear the right type of clothing. Make sure the the floor and the area around the forklift is free of fluid or debris that can potentially lead to a dangerous slip. Last but not least, when you are ready to dismount, be alert and make sure there is no other traffic around.
