Counterbalance forklift Training
The OSHA or Occupational Safety and Health Administration require that anybody utilizing a counterbalanced forklift be given lecture style or classroom training. They additionally require that a periodic refresher training along with a supervised driving course is finished. There is no required minimum time for the supervised driving or classroom training. Also, there is no frequency mandated for the refresher training either.

Counterbalanced Forklifts
The counterbalanced forklift's weight is utilized to balance its load utilizing its own weight. The forklift forks are in a fixed position but can be lowered and raised to secure and move loads. The forks run parallel to the forklift's body. OSHA require that drivers who will be operating counterbalanced forklifts on the job be trained on the trucks while being in the environment that they will be utilizing them.

Classroom Training
Lecture style training or classroom training provides information about the truck that the operator will be utilizing. This training includes aspects like weight and load capacity, height, how to fuel or charge the forklift. It includes 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.

Supervised Driving
The forklift operator needs to learn how to operate the counterbalanced forklift while being supervised. The supervised driving needs to take place in a place that reflects the environment the operator would be driving in. This atmosphere must include the type of terrain she will be traveling on, have the same pedestrian and vehicle traffic nearby, and the same surrounding structures nearby as well. There is no required minimum number of hours the driver needs to drive while being supervised.
