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, that means to consistently have one foot and both hands or vice-versa in contact with the machine. Be sure to wear non-slippery and oil resistant shoes since correct protective shoes could certainly help to keep you safe. Do not wear any dangling jewelry or loose garments, as these items may become caught. Wear the right kind of clothes. Make sure the area around the forklift and the floor is free of debris or fluid that could potentially result in a dangerous slip. Finally, when you are preparing to dismount, be alert and make sure there is no other traffic around.
