There are several particular things to always take into account when dismounting a forklift. For example, when dismounting, be sure to face the vehicle and never jump off of it. Maintain a 3-point stance, that means to always have both hands and one foot or vice-versa in contact with the machine. Be sure to wear non-slippery and oil resistant shoes as proper protective shoes could definitely help to keep you safe. Do not wear any dangling jewelry or loose garments, because these items may become caught. Wear the correct type of clothes. Make sure the area surrounding the forklift and the floor is free of debris or fluid that could potentially lead to a dangerous slip. Last but not least, be alert and make sure there is no other traffic around when you are ready to dismount.
