The OSHA or Occupational Safety and Health Administration require that anybody using 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 completed. There is no minimum time requirement for the classroom training or supervised driving. What's more, there is no frequency mandated for the refresher training either.
The counterbalanced forklift's weight is utilized to balance its cargo utilizing its own weight. The forklift forks are in a fixed position but can be lowered and raised to secure and transport cargo. The forks run parallel to the body of the forklift. OSHA require that individuals who will be using counterbalanced forklifts on the job be trained on the trucks while being in the environment that they would be using them.
Training either lecture style or in a classroom would offer forklift and operator information for the truck you would be operating. Most training would include certain aspects like the 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 where to stand when walking around the truck. Either written and/or oral testing is part of the classroom training. There is no required minimum time for the training.
The forklift driver needs 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 type of terrain she will be traveling on, have the same surrounding structures close by, and similar vehicle and pedestrian traffic close by also. There is no specific minimum number of hours the driver needs to drive while being supervised.
