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