This was once on my medicine But I ignored it cuz I didn't know that they meant,but nothing happened I still operated machines so yh
This was on my dog’s medication once.
Did he abide by it?
No, we can’t keep him if the tractor
He skirted the regulation and operated a weapon instead
I drive a forklift for a living and I equate "heavy machinery" as a bulldozer or something, lol.
To be fair, I probably couldn't lift either.
Wait until the medication wears off. Probably easier then.
Wait they aren't talking about cranes?
Container ships, actually
Star destroyers
Somewhere in the universe, an extraterrestrial Homer Simpson is just wrapping up his shift operating the Dyson sphere...
Gantry cranes.
My mind goes to this, but I don't need medication for me to be unsafe operating any machinery other/heavier than a simple car.
Mine goes to bucket excavator.
I don't consider forklift to be heavy machinery, at least not the little pallet ones. The seacan ones, absolutely.

"A small electric forklift may weigh around 3,000 lbs (1,360 kg)"
Call me crazy, but I personally draw the line to "heavy" somewhere BELOW a metric ton 😄
There's other safety oriented tasks with the same attention required. I wouldn't pass meds on ativan or oxy, and would be pretty cautious with most other sedating medications. Weirdly I also don't pass meds without strattera. Weirder I think flight attendants are in the same boat (plane?) where a lot of people see it as a customer service role and don't realize how safety oriented the job is. Then people start some bullshit in a crowded aluminum tube with no safe exits and get surprised when they get duct taped to a chair.
(sorry, what do you mean by "pass meds"?)
So most hospitals have a time, usually depending on when they change shifts, that most meds are scheduled around. And the whole process is much more complicated than I think most people realize. The omnicell can make sure you pull the right drug/form/strength and it can tell you how many to take out but it can't take the patient's blood pressure before you give them the metoprolol or fingerstick before you give their insulin and it can't check for dangerous side effects before or after the dose or make sure the blood level is taken and sent down to the lab at the right time relative to the administration of the med they're measuring (the omnicell can't even verify that took the right amount of pills out of the pocket). And you're doing that for six patients at a time. So (usually) my job doesn't require fast reflexes, but it does require pretty intense focus.
Ok, so what do you mean by "pass meds"?
I love how you managed to paint an even more confusing image.
For instance, based on what you've written with NO additional context, "the omnicell" must clearly be a terrifying large robotic overlord the size of a room that demands the world of you.
Probably a pharmacy technician or similar job where they handle giving patients medicine.
Thank you, ok, so what do you suppose this meant:
Weirdly I also don't pass meds without strattera.
Strattera is an adhd drug, so they probably dont feel comfortable handling patients meds without themself being medicated for their adhd.
I've seen enough warehouse fails to fully agree.
Bagger 288
You don't operate the Bagger 288, it contains an artificial mind. This mind is full of hatred; violence is its sole vocation
I guess small quadcopters do not count?
"Alright commander, I'm all clear to operate kamikazi drones." 🎇🙈 xD

War crimes are fun
Serbia mentioned
It says don’t drive or operate heavy machinery, the additional clarification is precisely because people will think “well a forklift isn’t a car”

forklift-sama is about to make me lose my licence
Fucking gold right there
They obviously mean my schlong
Having driven both, I can safely say that they meant both.
I always think of like an excavator lol
It's even worse than that: when I'm zoned out of my mind, nothing feels heavy anymore. So I can operate anything safely, right?
Baler
I once zoned out of driving for a solid 5 minutes on my way home from work as a teen because my brain didn't equate heavy machinery with car. Got onto highway...turning off of highway. Nothing in between. Needless to say, I've never made that mistake again.
work as a teen
Interesting profession
Long hours, always underappreciated, also thought pretty highly of myself too for someone with very little work experience
This happened to me on a regular basis for a couple years, just sans medication.
Coming to in the parking lot or badging in and realizing you have no idea what happened between getting in the car and now.
3am start times with a 20min drive will do that to you.
That's... absolutely terrifying.
I always go to crane
Obligatory
Yes, car brains are completely desensitized to their own murderous potential.
Big ball and chain thing for knocking down buildings for me
