Narrative

At around 7:45 AM, an employee was troubleshooting a blockage in the pipeline that circulates oil from the fryer to the oil filter machine. Pressurized air in the system caused the oil within the pipeline to surge back into the enclosed fryer. Oil then sprayed through small openings in the fryer and burned the employee. The employee was hospitalized with burns to the back of the neck and upper shoulders.
