Hands and Arms Splash Burns

Oil splashing over the handle due to frozen or wet product entering the fryer oil is very common and go largely unreported due to the fact that they are treated on site. OilGuards are being used in restaurants around the world to help reduce these accidents.

Someone told me to post it here. For context, I was deep-frying, and then suddenly the hot oil pops and splashed in my hand.

“I mean I missed the hanging hook and created an oil tsunami. I’m lucky this is the only injury I received.”

Oil splash at work 4 years ago. Yeah. It hurt. I can still see the faint scar from the largest burn. I remember I was frying wonton chips. Ouch. #fryerburn #oilburn #memories #timehop #literallyscarredforlife #ouch

Scarring

Fryer Oil Splatter Burns Can Leave Long Lasting Scars

Accidents with the fryer happen when you get busy. I was lowering wet product into the fryer and it caused oil to splash back at me. This was 10 years ago!

Donna Dooher, Former President Of The Canadian National Restaurant Association

I was frying product and oil splashed over the handle at me. That was 3-4 years ago!

"I ACCIDENTALLY WAS MOVING THE FRYING BASKET ALITTLE TO FAST, AND ONE OF THE WAYS TO MAKE SURE FRYING CHIPS IS DONE UNDER A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME IS TO OVERFILL THE FRYER WITH OIL ABOVE THE RECOMMENDED LINE"

Problems With Non-slip Shoes

We highly recommend wearing non-slip shoes in the kitchen. Period. There is absolutely no question that non-slip shoes are far more effective than normal shoes but front line restaurant workers are still experiencing dangerous ’Slip & Falls’ when wearing non-slip shoes especially when oil accumulates on the floor or on the sole of the shoe. Stopping any unnecessary oil from the fryer reaching the floor is one of the important benefits of The OilGuards which can increase the safety effectiveness of non-slip shoes.

Problems With Non-reported Injuries

There are so many kitchen accidents that go largely unreported resulting in inaccurate accident rate numbers. Some reasons are that front line restaurant workers are too busy to report them or they simply don’t want to complain out of pride or concern of letting down the crew by slowing down operations. OilGuards are an extremely important and inexpensive safety product that can help protect front line restaurant workers from dangerous and preventable accidents.
