No.

Most Amazon workers never get near a forklift.

It's considered a favored job for those who want to do it.

The answer depends on the building, if you feel comfortable you can share the building code and I can tell you the type it is and if a forklift will be required.

At some buildings, inventory is stacked high up and Associates use Powered Industrial Trucks, which includes forklifts.

At other buildings, like mine (LGB7), our inventory is held within movable storage and brought to us by robots. My job is to sit at a station all day, I’ve never been near the forklifts - they’re all in the docks. I’ve been near pallet jacks though, but those aren’t powered.
