KFC franchise fined $60,000 after worker's leg burnt in cooker | AnnaPattySMH
A NSW franchise of KFC has been fined $60,000 after a 20-year-old worker slipped in the kitchen and suffered serious burns to his leg.
The worker used a ladder in November 2016 to clean the area above open pots containing hot oil used to cook chicken at the KFC in Coffs Harbour. The court found that there had been a failure to ensure the cooker lids were closed and in a locked position when the area above them was cleaned. They should also have been switched off during the cleaning process.
The court found QSR did not adequately implement safe work procedures, including training, for the cleaning task.
