Brian,

If that's actually what you said, then you're in trouble!

What you SHOULD have said is that:

"You are, of course, prepared to following lawful and safe
instructions from your superiors."

"However, in the case of the particular incident for which you had
been asked to attend a hearing, it was your professional view that
the instruction was not safe, and had the potential of causing actual
injury. You had not taken this decision lightly, but had sought
professional advice from the following institutions (insert the URLs
that were posted in previous messages here)."

What you COULD now do, IF AND ONLY IF your witness agrees that it's a
fair and accurate statement, is write back to your HR department
claiming that the final written warning materially misrepresents what
you said in the disciplinary hearing.


I'd also look for another job!
