Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:25 a.m. on July 19, 2003, Employee #1 was attempting to remove partially solidified cooking oil in a potato frying vat by feeding air pressure into the oil drain lines. For some reason, the check valve to the vat, located above him, was left open. This caused the forced air to push the hot, approximately 385 degrees, cooking oil on top of him. Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for second and third degree burns, covering over 40 percent of his body.
