  Go to OSHA's website for information. Training is required. Also check if your state has any regs. Your workers compensation carrier should also be able to assist you.
  Good luck.

  Forklift training requires a hands-on portion and a lecture portion. Anyone who operates a forklift must be trained BEFORE they drive it. They must also fill out a daily inspection sheet that verifies all the components are working properly. There are also many other requirements if you are going to charge/store an extra battery.
  
  A FORKLIFT IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN A MANUFACTURING ENVIRONMENT!
  
  Do not take them lightly. They weigh more than a car and can VERY easily kill someone.

  Ask the comapny you are buying it to throw in doing a training program for you people...... if they sell Yale forklifts they will have a most excellent training program.
  
  One thing to keep in mind that retraining is required when they show they are no longer operating properly. I.E when they have a mishap....... just an fyi
