The OSHA does require drivers using a counterbalanced forklift to have received lecture style or classroom training. They also require that a periodic refresher training as well as a supervised driving program is completed. There is no required minimum time for the classroom training or supervised driving. Moreover, there is no frequency mandated for the refresher training either.
The counterbalanced forklift's weight is used to balance its cargo utilizing its own weight. The forklift forks are in a fixed position but can be raised and lowered to secure and transport loads. The forks run parallel to the body of the forklift. OSHA require that individuals who would be operating counterbalanced forklifts on the job be correctly trained on the trucks while being in the environment that they would be utilizing them.
Training either in a classroom or lecture style will offer forklift and driver information for the truck you would be utilizing. Most training would include several aspects like the load and weight capacity, height, how to fuel or charge the forklift. It includes 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 oral and/or written testing is part of the classroom training. There is no required minimum time for the training.
The driver of a forklift will have to learn to operate the equipment while being supervised. The supervised driving needs to take place in an environment which resembles the current environment that the operator works in. This atmosphere must include the type of terrain she would be traveling on, have the same surrounding structures close by, and similar vehicle and pedestrian traffic close by as well. There is no specific minimum number of hours the operator needs to drive while being supervised.
