The OSHA does require operators utilizing a counterbalanced forklift to have received classroom or lecture style 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 supervised driving or classroom training. Additionally, there is no frequency mandated for the refresher training either.
A counterbalanced forklift balances its load utilizing 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 forklift's body. OSHA require that drivers who would be operating counterbalanced forklifts on the job be properly trained on the trucks while being in the environment which they would be using them.
Lecture style training or classroom training provides information regarding the truck that the operator will be utilizing. This training includes aspects such as 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 for example 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 will have to learn to drive the machine while being supervised. The supervised driving has to take place in an environment that resembles the present environment that the operator works in. This atmosphere should include the kind of terrain she will be traveling on, have the same vehicle and pedestrian traffic nearby, and the same surrounding structures close by also. There is no required minimum number of hours the operator needs to drive while being supervised.
