Angie Hodgkinson-Day, a chef at one of Jamie Oliver’s restaurants, had boiling oil poured over her feet during a training day. The accident occurred when Angie Hodgkinson-Day asked a kitchen porter to pour oil away from the deep fat fryer. Instead of following the correct procedure and waiting for the oil to cool over night, the oil was removed when it was still boiling hot.  It emerged that the kitchen porter had not received any health and safety training.

Angie had to stay in hospital for 10 days and needed skin grafts to her left foot.  Jamie’s restaurant was found guilty of breaching health and safety law, and was fined £8,500 plus £3,910 costs.
