Be sure to wear non-slippery and oil resistant shoes since correct protective shoes can definitely help to keep you safe. Do not wear any dangling jewelry or loose clothing, since these items may become caught. Wear the proper kind of clothing. Make sure the the floor and the area surrounding the forklift is free of fluid or debris that could potentially lead to a dangerous slip. Finally, when you are ready to dismount, be alert and make sure there is no other traffic around.
