Investigation Summary
At 2:13 p.m. on January 24, 2017, three employees were working in the kitchen area of a restaurant. After Employee #1 placed raw chicken pieces into a pressure fryer for cooking, securing the lid with a latch handle. The cooker was operating at a pressure of 12 psi, when the latch gave way. The lid flew off, spraying hot oil into the immediate work area that contacted Employees #1, #2, and #3. All three employees were taken to a nearby hospital, where Employees #2 and #3 were treated for first and second degree burns and released from the hospital the same day. Employee #1 was taken to a burn unit at another hospital for treatment.
