The OSHA does require operators using a counterbalanced forklift to have received classroom or lecture style training. They also require that a supervised driving program is completed as well as periodic refresher training. There is no minimum time requirement for the supervised driving or classroom training. Moreover, there is no frequency mandated for the refresher training either.
The weight of the counterbalance forklift is utilized to balance its load utilizing its own weight. The forklift forks are in a fixed position but could be lowered and raised to secure and transport loads. The forks run parallel to the body of the forklift. OSHA require that people who would be utilizing counterbalanced forklifts on the job be trained on the trucks while being in the kind of environment that they would be utilizing them.
Lecture style training or classroom training provides information about the truck which the driver would be driving. This training covers aspects like load and weight 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 oral and/or written testing is part of the classroom training. There is no required minimum time for the training.
The forklift driver has to learn how to drive the counterbalanced forklift while being supervised. The supervised driving has to take place in a place that reflects the environment the operator will\would be driving in. This atmosphere should include the kind of terrain she will be traveling on, have similar pedestrian and vehicle traffic nearby, and the same surrounding structures close by also. There is no specific minimum number of hours the operator needs to drive while being supervised.
