Do we need to provide forklift operator training for each make and model?

No, not necessarily. But, you have to train on each “type” of truck. By “type,” OSHA is talking about basic differences — a sit-down rider truck vs. a stand-up truck, or an order-picker vs. a pallet jack. OSHA doesn’t intend that you have to give refresher training because someone starts using the same type of truck made by a different manufacturer. But, keep in mind that the operator will need instruction on any topics, such as the truck’s controls, that are different.
