When dismounting a lift truck, there are some 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 always have one foot and both hands or vice-versa in contact with the machine. Be sure to wear oil resistant and non slippery shoes as correct protective shoes can definitely help to keep you safe. Do not wear any dangling jewelry or loose clothes, as these things may become caught. Wear the correct kind of clothing. Make sure the area around the forklift and the floor is free of debris or fluid which could potentially lead to a dangerous slip. Last but not least, be alert and make sure there is no other traffic around when you are ready to dismount.
