In a shocking and tragic incident, a 19-year-old employee at a Walmart store in Halifax, Nova Scotia, was found dead inside the store's bakery oven last Saturday.
The employee, identified as Gursimran Kaur, was discovered by her mother, who also worked at the store. The cause of her death is still under investigation, but police have said there is no evidence of foul play.
This incident has raised questions about the safety of industrial ovens and the training provided to employees who operate them.
Walk-in ovens are large, commercial-grade ovens used to bake large quantities of food. They can reach temperatures of up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and are typically used in bakeries, restaurants, and other food service establishments.
While walk-in ovens are generally safe when used properly, there are potential hazards that employees should be aware of. These hazards include:
Employees who operate walk-in ovens should be properly trained on how to use the equipment safely. They should also be aware of the potential hazards and how to avoid them.
In the wake of this tragic incident, Walmart has announced that it will be reviewing its safety procedures for walk-in ovens.
The company has also said that it will be providing additional training to employees who operate these ovens.
This incident is a reminder that even though we may take our daily activities for granted, it is important to be aware of the potential dangers in our surroundings
