Falls In The Kitchen
By Enrique Garcia
Injurys.
This women has damaged her elbow in the machinery room, because there had sprung a leak. She must had been walking and not been looking down on time.
Any place.
This women has banged up her head on the edge of the table across the grill, because no one bothered to clean up the oil that spilled and sizzled off the food. The women was even carrying a tray of things, which made even more of a mess.
Any time.
This young lady had no intention falling into the fryer but her careless co-workers had splashed to much water onto the floor while washing there hands and dishes.
