I don't think this is a question of work ethic. I think it's a question of integrity.
It's not in his job description to fix the stinky used grinders, and if the company wants to merge it into his job description then he needs to decide if the job is still worth the money to him. The company can require him to do anything they want for him to earn their dollar. If he doesn't want to fix stinky ass grinders (I know I wouldn't.) then he needs to find a new job. That's not poor work ethic, that's personal choice.
The company should be providing proper safety precautions BEFORE they ask him to do something though.
