When dismounting a forklift, there are several particular things to take into account. When dismounting for instance, make sure to never jump from it and to face the vehicle. Maintain a 3-point stance, which 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 since correct protective shoes can certainly help to keep you safe. Do not wear any dangling jewelry or loose garments, since these things might become caught. Wear the correct type of clothing. Make sure the area around the forklift and the floor is free of debris or fluid that can potentially lead to a dangerous slip. Finally, be alert and make sure there is no other traffic around when you are preparing to dismount.
