A SENIOR train shunter sacked over a positive drug test has been reinstated after an appeal found he accidentally ate cannabis in pasta sauce, thinking it was "herbs".

Robert Dickson accidentally ate cannabis after his partner Megan Bailey accidentally chopped herbs on the same kitchen bench where she rolled marijuana cigarettes as she prepared food, Transport Appeal Board Commissioner David Ritchie ruled.

Mr Dickson, who has worked for Railcorp since 1984, said his partner kept a very "messy" kitchen.

Ms Bailey was "smoking and preparing her cannabis and preparing the sauce for the pasta". She smoked up to 15 cones of cannabis a day, Mr Dickson told the tribunal.

Mr Dickson tested positive to cannabis on April 18 last year in a urine sample after returning from two weeks leave. The urine test occurred two days after the pasta meal.

He was sacked on November 11 last year after the positive test but has been reinstated.
