When dismounting a forklift, there are several specific things to take into account. When dismounting for example, make sure to never jump from it and to face the vehicle. Maintain a 3-point stance, which means to consistently 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 could definitely help to keep you safe. Do not wear loose clothes or dangling jewelry, as these items may become caught. Wear the correct type of clothes. Make sure the the floor and the area around the lift truck is free of debris or fluid which can potentially result in a dangerous slip. Last but not least, when you are preparing to dismount, be alert and make sure there is no other traffic around.
