The OSHA or Occupational Safety and Health Administration require that anyone using a counterbalanced forklift be given lecture style or classroom training. They also require that a supervised driving program is completed as well as periodic refresher training. There is no required minimum time for the supervised driving or classroom training. Also, 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 forklift's body. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration require that individuals who will be operating counterbalanced forklifts on the job be trained on the trucks while being in the environment which they would be using them.
Classroom training or lecture style training offers information regarding the truck which the operator would be using. This training includes aspects like weight and load 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 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 would need to learn to drive the machinery while being supervised. The supervised driving has to take place in an environment that resembles the current environment that the operator works in. This atmosphere must include the type of terrain she will be traveling on, have the same surrounding structures close by, and similar pedestrian and vehicle traffic nearby as well. There is no required minimum number of hours the operator needs to drive while being supervised.
