The Occupational Safety and Health Administration or OSHA require that anybody operating a counterbalanced forklift be given lecture style or classroom training. They also require that a periodic refresher training as well as a supervised driving program is finished. There is no minimum time requirement for the supervised driving or classroom training. Additionally, there is no frequency mandated for the refresher training either.
A counterbalanced forklift balances its load with the truck's weight. The forks on a lift truck are in a fixed position; they go up and down and do not turn. The forks run parallel to the body of the forklift. OSHA require that individuals who will be utilizing counterbalanced forklifts on the job be properly trained on the trucks while being in the environment that they will be utilizing them.
Lecture style training or classroom training offers information about the truck which the operator would be using. This training covers aspects like load and weight capacity, height, how to fuel or charge the forklift. It covers how to gauge the time on the engine as well as any forklift specific safety information like where to stand when walking around the truck. Either written and/or oral testing is part of the classroom training. There is no required minimum time for the training.
The forklift operator has to learn how to use the counterbalanced forklift while being supervised. The supervised driving needs to take place in a place that reflects the environment the driver will\would be driving in. This atmosphere should include the type of terrain she would be traveling on, have similar vehicle and pedestrian traffic close by, and similar surrounding structures close by as well. There is no required minimum number of hours the driver has to drive while being supervised.
