The OSHA or Occupational Safety and Health Administration require that anybody utilizing a counterbalanced forklift be given lecture style or classroom training. They also require that a periodic refresher training as well as a supervised driving course is finished. There is no minimum time requirement for the classroom training or supervised driving. Also, there is no frequency mandated for the refresher training either.
The weight of the counterbalance forklift is utilized to balance its load using its own weight. The forklift forks are in a fixed position but can be lowered and raised to secure and move cargo. The forks run parallel to the body of the forklift. OSHA require that people 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 will provide forklift and driver information for the truck you would be driving. Most training will include certain aspects such as the 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 like for instance 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 driver of a forklift will need to learn to drive the equipment while being supervised. The supervised driving has to take place in an environment that resembles the present environment which the driver works in. This atmosphere must include the kind of terrain she would be traveling on, have the same pedestrian and vehicle traffic close by, and similar surrounding structures nearby as well. There is no specific minimum number of hours the driver needs to drive while being supervised.
