The OSHA does require drivers using a counterbalanced forklift to have received classroom or lecture style training. They additionally require that a periodic refresher training as well as a supervised driving program is finished. There is no minimum time requirement for the classroom training or supervised driving. Additionally, there is no frequency mandated for the refresher training either.
A counterbalanced forklift balances its load using the truck's weight. The forks on a lift truck are in a fixed position; they go up and down and do not pivot. The forks run parallel to the body of the forklift. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration require that drivers who would be operating counterbalanced forklifts on the job be correctly trained on the trucks while being in the kind of environment which they would be using them.
Classroom training or lecture style training provides information about the truck which the driver will 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 oral and/or written testing is part of the classroom training. There is no minimum time requirement for the training.
The forklift operator needs to learn how to operate the counterbalanced forklift while being supervised. The supervised driving needs to take place in an area which reflects the environment the operator will\would be driving in. This atmosphere should include the type of terrain she will be traveling on, have similar pedestrian and vehicle traffic close by, and similar surrounding structures nearby as well. There is no specific minimum number of hours the operator needs to drive while being supervised.
