Hungry Jack’s has been fined $90,000 after an Adelaide employee fell into fry oil, and no one called an ambulance.

Dylan Robeson slipped and fell into the boiling oil at the Edwardstown restaurant in Adelaide, suffering third degree burns to 10% of his skin.

Mr Robeson had cold water run over his injuries, but was then left to deal with the burns himself.

Hungry Jack’s managers gave no further medical attention, and did not call an ambulance.

“Despite phone calls between the supervisor, his manager and other persons in the hierarchy, no ambulance was actually called by staff of Hungry Jack’s following this incident,” magistrate Michael Ardile said in his determination.

“Mr Robeson was eventually taken to hospital by his father, who attended the store after being contacted by his son.”

Ardile noted that Robeson had only been employed at the store for a few weeks when he was asked to filter deep fryer cooking oil manually, because the automatic filtration feature was not working.

During this process, Robeson slipped into oil that would have been between 135°C and 149°C.

“As an employer it was responsible for the employee’s safety and it should have arranged for proper medical treatment,” Ardile said.

The Work Health and Safety Act 2011 requires employers to ensure the health and safety of workers while at work, including; providing a safe environment, systems of work and adequate training, instruction and sufficient supervision.

Reports say Hungry Jack's is looking to phase out the mobile filtration units, but the company has not made public comments on the matter.
