When dismounting a lift truck, there are some particular things to take into account. When dismounting for example, make sure to face the vehicle and to never jump from it. Maintain a 3-point stance, that means to consistently have one foot and both hands or vice-versa in contact with the equipment. 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, as these items may become caught. Wear the correct type of clothing. Make sure the the floor and the area around the lift truck is free of debris or fluid that can potentially result in a dangerous slip. Finally, when you are ready to dismount, be alert and make sure there is no other traffic around.
