The OSHA does require operators utilizing a counterbalanced forklift to have received lecture style or classroom training. They additionally require that a supervised driving program is completed as well as periodic refresher training. There is no required minimum time for the classroom training or supervised driving. 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 forklift's body. OSHA require that drivers who would be using counterbalanced forklifts on the job be trained on the trucks while being in the environment that they will be utilizing them.
Classroom training or lecture style training offers information about the truck that the operator would be utilizing. This training includes aspects like weight and load 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 driver of a forklift will have to learn to use the equipment while being supervised. The supervised driving has to take place in an environment which resembles the present environment that the operator works in. This atmosphere must include the type of terrain she would be traveling on, have similar surrounding structures close by, and the same pedestrian and vehicle traffic nearby as well. There is no specific minimum number of hours the driver needs to drive while being supervised.
