Abstract: At approximately 4:10 p.m. on July 4, 2009, Employee #1, a main cook, was standing in front of a Henny Penny 8-Head gas pressure fryer (m/n 690) and lifted the lid to remove cooked chicken. The lid shot up dislocating Employee #1's right shoulder and spewing oil onto her arms, abdomen and legs. Employee #1 was severely burned. She screamed and ran to a nearby sink with hose to apply cool water. A coworker called for an ambulance, and Employee #1 was taken to the University Medical Center Burn Unit in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she was hospitalized. Employee #1 did not use any personal protective equipment.
