Getting Aboard the Lift truck
The 3-point dismount is one of the keys to keeping operators safe. It is the main factor for maintaining operator safety, even though this is normally overlooked. Like for example, a few years ago, at a lift truck rally, a contestant executed the course perfectly at a lift truck rally. At the end of his run, he was so thrilled, that he jumped off of his machine and forgot to make a 3-point dismount. He didn't win the competition because he judges ended up docking marks from his overall score.

The importance of dismounting and mounting lift trucks is a really serious factor to be included in training. Moreover, having drivers wear their seatbelts could really save their lives in case of a tip-over. It is really vital to understand that if the center of gravity of a loaded forklift moves outside of the stability triangle then a tip-over situation can occur. Trained operators rarely ever run into a tip-over situation, however, it is extremely essential that they are ready for that risk in case it happens.

Mount/Dismount
Mounting and dismounting of forklifts is important for ensuring the driver stays safe. This is also true even on low platform pallet jacks. There are way too many injuries sustained from using these equipment. Several of the serious situations include: Driver's catching their coveralls or loose clothing while dismounting and can end up falling and breaking their back. At times, the driver could break or sprain an ankle when they step off of a forklift. The operator can break an arm accidentally when falling and slipping off of the pallet jack. The operator could suffer from torn shoulder muscles if they slip on floor debris while they are still hanging onto the handhold using one hand.

So as to keep you safe, having 3 points of contact is vital. Obtaining 3 points can be done with 2 hands and 1 foot or by 1 hand and 2 feet. This stance is precisely like climbing up or down a ladder. Don't forget to always face the machine. Operators often have a tendency to face away from the machine or to hop or jump off the machinery and these mistakes greatly reduce the overall risk being injured.
