When dismounting a lift truck, there are some specific things to take into account. When dismounting for example, make sure to never jump from it and to face the vehicle. Maintain a 3-point stance, that means to consistently have both hands and one foot or vice-versa in contact with the equipment. Be sure to wear non-slippery and oil resistant shoes because correct protective shoes could definitely help to keep you safe. Do not wear loose garments or dangling jewelry, since these things may become caught. Wear the right kind of clothing. Make sure the the floor and the area surrounding the forklift is free of fluid or debris that can potentially cause a dangerous slip. Lastly, when you are ready to dismount, be alert and make sure there is no other traffic around.
