The OSHA or Occupational Safety and Health Administration require that anyone using a counterbalanced forklift receive lecture style or classroom training. They also require that a supervised driving course 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.
The counterbalanced forklift's weight is used to balance its load utilizing its own weight. The forklift forks are in a fixed position but can be raised and lowered to secure and transport cargo. The forks run parallel to the body of the forklift. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration require that people who would be operating counterbalanced forklifts on the job be correctly trained on the trucks while being in the environment that they will be using them.
Lecture style training or classroom training provides information regarding the truck that the driver will be using. This training includes aspects such as load and weight capacity, height, how to charge or fuel the forklift. It includes how to gauge the time on the engine as well as any forklift specific safety information including 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 operator of a forklift would need to learn to operate the equipment while being supervised. The supervised driving has to take place in an environment which resembles the current environment which the operator works in. This atmosphere should include the type of terrain she would be traveling on, have similar surrounding structures nearby, and the same pedestrian and vehicle traffic close by as well. There is no specific minimum number of hours the driver has to drive while being supervised.
