When dismounting a lift truck, there are some specific things to take into consideration. When dismounting for example, make sure to never jump from it and to face the vehicle. 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 because proper protective shoes could definitely help to keep you safe. Do not wear any dangling jewelry or loose clothing, since these things might become caught. Wear the right type of clothes. Make sure the area around the forklift and the floor is free of debris or fluid which can potentially result in a dangerous slip. Lastly, be alert and make sure there is no other traffic around when you are ready to dismount.
