The OSHA or Occupational Safety and Health Administration require that anybody utilizing a counterbalanced forklift receive 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 required minimum time for the supervised driving or classroom training. What's more, there is no frequency mandated for the refresher training either.
A counterbalanced forklift balances its cargo using the weight of the truck. The forks on a lift truck are in a fixed position; they go down and up and do not pivot. The forks run parallel to the forklift's body. OSHA require that individuals who would be using counterbalanced forklifts on the job be properly trained on the trucks while being in the environment which they will be utilizing them.
Lecture style training or classroom training provides information about the truck which the operator would be using. This training covers aspects like load and weight capacity, height, how to charge or fuel 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 driver of a forklift would have to learn to operate the equipment while being supervised. The supervised driving has to take place in an environment that resembles the present environment that the operator works in. This atmosphere should include the type of terrain she will be traveling on, have the same pedestrian and vehicle traffic nearby, and the same surrounding structures nearby also. There is no specific minimum number of hours the operator needs to drive while being supervised.
