When dismounting a forklift, there are some specific 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 always have one foot and both hands or vice-versa in contact with the machinery. Be sure to wear oil resistant and non slippery shoes since correct protective shoes can certainly help to keep you safe. Do not wear any dangling jewelry or loose clothes, because these items may 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 could potentially cause a dangerous slip. Lastly, when you are ready to dismount, be alert and make sure there is no other traffic around.
