I don't know if you guys can help at all or not but worth a shot i suppose.
So my sisters partner got suspended last week over "pieces of wood" in turf.
He was on his break at the time this was discovered, although he was one of the two people that operated the machinery beforehand.
Gone in for disciplinary hearing today, and got a written warning and demotion.
The machinery was modified as per managers orders prior to that which caused pieces of wood to get past few barriers. Now other guy works instead of him(regional disease manager) - and more than ever wood gets in turf and no one has an issue with that.
He did not sign the warning paperwork.
Will go to CAB tomorrow to get their help too.
Anything he can do at all?

Whats the job? Whats "wood in turf"? What does his job description say/cover? Has he signed anything to do with performance figures?
Theres a lot of things that could affect whether the company was within their rights or not.

You need to rewrite it so we know what he does, what the machine does, what the company does etc

Company is a Mushroom growing farm.
Lorries delivery turf to farm, and drop it into machinery, which takes it into sheds.
His warning was on not paying enough attention.

Nobody understands what you're talking about mate.
Just re-write what his supposed to do
What his is accused of doing
The effects of doing what he supposedly done.

So he's been given a warning because when the turf went into the machinery it was contaminated with wood? Or a pieces of wood from pallets etc went in with the turf?
If the turf was contaminated with the wood before delivery then surely, dependant on whether his job was to check the turf before it entered the machine, its not his fault?
If the wood was put in the machine through his negligence (e.g. scraping a piece of pallet in with the turf) or if his job was to check the turf then it is his fault and can be held responsible.
There's too much that we don't know to give a definitive answer though.

Turf comes with pieces of wood in it. Machinery is supposed to chop it, but as said, was modified to stop it from doing that.
I think main point is that he was on his break at the time and machinery was not in operation.

at the end of the day if the machine is meant to stop the wood from getting through and the manager has told him to bypass it then it is one word agasint another and more than likely the manager will win...
Even if the manager asks you to do something that changes the way something works in a massive scale get it in writing or a witness to back you up if things go tits up.
