Maintain a 3-point stance, which means to always have one foot and both hands or vice-versa in contact with the machine. Be sure to wear non-slippery and oil resistant shoes as correct protective shoes could definitely help to keep you safe. Do not wear any dangling jewelry or loose clothes, because these things may become caught. Wear the correct type of clothes. Make sure the area around the forklift and the floor is free of debris or fluid which can potentially lead to a dangerous slip. Lastly, be alert and make sure there is no other traffic around when you are ready to dismount.
