There are some particular things to always take into account when dismounting a forklift. For example, when dismounting, never jump off of it and be sure 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 equipment. Be sure to wear oil resistant and non slippery shoes because correct protective shoes could definitely help to keep you safe. Do not wear loose clothes or dangling jewelry, because these items may become caught. Wear the proper kind of clothing. Make sure the the floor and the area around the forklift is free of fluid or debris which could potentially result in a dangerous slip. Finally, be alert and make sure there is no other traffic around when you are ready to dismount.
