The OSHA does require drivers utilizing a counterbalanced forklift to have received lecture style or classroom training. They also require that a supervised driving program is finished as well as periodic refresher training. There is no required minimum time for the supervised driving or classroom training. As well, there is no frequency mandated for the refresher training either.
A counterbalanced forklift balances its cargo using the truck's weight. 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 body of the forklift. OSHA require that people who will be utilizing counterbalanced forklifts on the job be properly trained on the trucks while being in the kind of setting which they will be using them.
Training either lecture style or in a classroom will provide forklift and driver information for the truck you will be driving. Most training will include certain aspects such as the 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 forklift operator has to learn how to utilize the counterbalanced forklift while being supervised. The supervised driving needs to take place in a place which reflects the environment the driver will\would be driving in. This atmosphere should include the kind of terrain she would be traveling on, have the same surrounding structures nearby, and the same pedestrian and vehicle traffic nearby as well. There is no specific minimum number of hours the operator needs to drive while being supervised.
