The Occupational Safety and Health Administration or OSHA require that anybody utilizing a counterbalanced forklift be given lecture style or classroom training. They also require that a supervised driving course 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 turn. The forks run parallel to the body of the forklift. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration require that drivers who would be utilizing counterbalanced forklifts on the job be trained on the trucks while being in the environment that they would be utilizing them.
Training either lecture style or in a classroom will offer forklift and operator information for the truck you will be utilizing. Most training will cover several aspects such as the weight and load 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 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 forklift operator needs to learn how to drive the counterbalanced forklift while being supervised. The supervised driving needs to take place in an area that reflects the environment the operator will\would be driving in. This atmosphere should include the type of terrain she will be traveling on, have similar vehicle and pedestrian traffic close by, and similar surrounding structures close by too. There is no required minimum number of hours the operator needs to drive while being supervised.
