I inadvertly left the acetic acid valved out at work which resulted in the production of 30,000 pounds of non-terminated nylon chips when they should have been terminated chips. The control room technician had the alarm suppressed which would have revealed the error. Another employee did the same thing twice and was not terminated. This error cost the company over $30,000 for a six hour production run.Should the employer overlook this as human error. Important, should they have installed a safety device to prevent this from happening since it has happened twice before in the past year.

Yes I believe that all three should be terminated if there is a procedure outlined for employees to follow and mosst co. have procedures. Especially the guy that had done it twice.

you already know that is theft. boiled in a nut shell. go above him and admit your error and the willingness of the foremans to "cover up". much money is lost and you may save future losses as well as get a promotion. 30,000 dollars is no ripple in the water. its a tide.
