Statistics on slip & Fall injuries from cooking oil & Grease: “1. Sixty percent of BOH workers’ compensation claims are linked to cooking oil.....Manually handling cooking oil is regarded as the most dangerous job in the BOH. Pouring oil into fryers, disposing of used oil and transporting hot oil are all tasks that increase the risk of slip-and-fall accidents caused by oil spills. The only way to completely eliminate the manual process of your BOH staff having to handle oil is through an automated, closed-loop system. If incorporating such technology isn’t possible, executing quarterly training programs specific for each stage of the oil management life cycle can help decrease the risk for injury... The National Safety Council estimates that more than 25,000 slip-and-fall accidents occur every day, equating to 9 million each year. ... 6. The average quick-service restaurant slip-and-fall claim costs $5,800... 7. Slip-and-fall lawsuits have risen by more than 300 percent since 1980) ("7 tips to avoid costly Slip-and-Fall injuries", https://www.rti-inc.com/7-tips-avoid-costly-slip-fall-injuries)
