The Occupational Safety and Health Administration does require drivers utilizing a counterbalanced forklift to have received lecture style or classroom training. They additionally require that a periodic refresher training as well as a supervised driving course is finished. There is no required minimum time for the classroom training or supervised driving. Additionally, there is no frequency mandated for the refresher training either.
A counterbalanced forklift balances its cargo with the truck's weight. The forks on a lift truck are in a fixed position; they go up and down and do not pivot. The forks run parallel to the forklift's body. OSHA require that people who would be using counterbalanced forklifts on the job be correctly trained on the trucks while being in the environment that they would be using them.
Training either in a classroom or lecture style will provide forklift and operator information for the truck you would be using. Most training would include several aspects such as the load and weight capacity, height, how to charge or fuel the forklift. It covers how to gauge the time on the engine as well as any forklift specific safety information including 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 operator 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 the same surrounding structures close by, and similar vehicle and pedestrian traffic close by as well. There is no required minimum number of hours the driver has to drive while being supervised.
