The OSHA or Occupational Safety and Health Administration require that anybody utilizing a counterbalanced forklift be given classroom or lecture style training. They also require that a supervised driving program is finished as well as periodic refresher training. There is no minimum time requirement 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 with the weight of the truck. 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 body of the forklift. OSHA require that drivers who would be operating counterbalanced forklifts on the job be properly trained on the trucks while being in the environment that they will be using them.
Training either in a classroom or lecture style would provide forklift and driver information for the truck you will be operating. Most training would cover several aspects such as the 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 minimum time requirement for the training.
The driver of a forklift would need to learn to utilize the machine while being supervised. The supervised driving needs to take place in an environment which resembles the present environment which the operator works in. This atmosphere should include the type of terrain she will be traveling on, have the same vehicle and pedestrian traffic close by, and similar surrounding structures nearby also. There is no specific minimum number of hours the operator has to drive while being supervised.
