My first actual job was at Burger King and we sliced tomatoes on something like this, but without the convenient hand guard plate thing: It was maybe a bit dull and ripe tomatoes benefitted from a bit of momentum. They'd squish if you went slow and steady. Luckily the one time I did gently caress up and catch the tip of my index finger in it the tomatoes were relatively firm and so I wasn't just slamming them through as fast as I could. It still both bled a lot and stung like a motherfucker on account of being a series of deep parallel cuts smothered in fresh tomato juice.

Not a kitchen injury but stupid nonetheless. I managed to make it to age 53 without learning that one should not take an entire box of sparklers and ignite them while holding them in your hand. I had no idea the heat would reach critical in about .000021 seconds and it was a lovely flash burn. Hurt like a motherfucker. Got ice on it immediately and kept it iced all night.  I debated getting medical attention, but it kept hurting at a reasonable level, so I figured there was no nerve damage. I was able to wrap it using strategically-placed medical foam and wrapped my hand around a tennis ball to keep the skin stretched without breaking any of the blisters. Was able to keep it that way for ten days. Healed up fine with no scarring, but it took a year for the skin to return to the same shade.

Spinz posted:Mandolins should be illegal or like a licensed thing I work in a machine shop and mandolins scare the poo poo out of me. E: Like that machine exists to slice part of your finger off. Even worse: most chain supermarkets have the mandolin within view of the customers and if you're understaffed and someone asks you a question...

Uthor posted:Stupidest kitchen injury, go! I had cooked some bacon and was cutting it up for mac n cheese n bacon. I had a hand on top of the blade to apply extra pressure, and it slipped off into the pointy business end of the knife and gashed up my finger. Bled for a good five minutes. No blood in the bacon though, so it went right into that mac n cheese. Every couple of years I apparently need to give myself a reminder that you should never rub your eyes right after handling hot peppers, but I don't know if that counts as an injury.

Subway uses it too, also without that big guard thing. It never got fully cleaned properly because we were all terrified of destroying our hands in it. Speaking of hand destruction, I got a mandoline for christmas one year. I then drank a whole bottle of champagne with breakfast and decided hey, I'll make scalloped potatoes and try this thing out! I got one potato in before I realized, oh poo poo I'm very drunk I am going to kill myself on this, so I proceeded to just...slice the rest of the potatoes but extremely slowly so it took me ages. Still have 100% of all my fingers! ...but I cut myself peeling the potatoes.

The thing with a mandolin slicer, especially when it's brand new, is people don't realise how fast it eats through whatever you're putting into it. So you think "Oh I don't need the little guard thingy, I can just keep going back and forth with my carrot until I'm down to the last third, then I'll get the guard out, why is there blood everywhere"

RobotCoupeDetat posted:I was having some really bad lower leg pain following an ACL reconstruction surgery. Switched to tennis-shoe style kitchen shoes. When draining the steam jacket kettle into the drain beneath it, we'd use a bucket with a hole cut in the side to redirect the stream of water into the drain without splashing. I was draining boiling water out of it, I still can't remember what for, and the bucket was misaligned by an inch or two. With very breathable, lace-up shoes, and lovely proprioception following the surgery, I kicked the bucket with my bad leg to get the water directed properly. I missed and my foot went directly into the water stream. You're lucky. Onboard submarines we have a steam jacket kettle, used for pasta and whatnot, the steam in the kettle body gets up to like 400F, so it liked to burn pasta and rice and stuff. Also we wear sneakers when underway because of the whole "sneak" factor. So I'm "cranking" in the galley (washing dishes basically) and I hear this blood-curdling scream, I run into the galley, and one of our cooks had accidentally released the kettle while shaking it to prevent burning, and dumped the whole thing on his feet, problem was it was hot enough to melt his socks into his feet. I called for doc, and then got the bonus duty of holding this dude down, after a big shot of morphine, while he screamed as Doc debrided the melted polyester off his ruined loving feet, the whole top layer of skin was gone. It was horrifying, fortunately we were close to the coast of the US, so a Coast Guard helicopter came and picked him up within a couple hours, only helo medivac I ever got to see. He never came back, I assume the Navy medically retired him. Leather boots were required in the galley after that. E: we also had two more mundane medivacs based on sailors shattering their teeth on burnt rice, so that's 3 total victims to the Steam Kettles From Hell.

Oh pretty much all the time, it's a rite of passage really.

If breakroom kitchens count, when working night shift on the ramp at an airline at a big airport I put some pop tarts in the toaster for lunch. I then went to the restroom foolishly leaving it unattended. I returned to see smoke billowing out of the toaster and learned it was broke. The timer thing didn't work to pop up whatever you were toasting so it just kept cooking away. The sink was right next to it so I manually popped them up and went to dump them in water, but the tarts basically disintegrated in my hand and molten jelly burned the hell out of it. It happened to be snowing so I just kept holding snowballs to try to alleviate the burn. I was too embarrassed to go to the medical place. Mostly, I'm super grateful the smoke alarms didn't get set off and the whole breakroom area and who knows where else get drenched in that aged fire suppression water due to a burning pop tart.

I was a cook at a Chinese Buffet restaurant when I was a teenager and would kick one of the swinging kitchen doors open while loaded up with trays mid rushed stride. One time I missed the left door, kicking the right one and I just straight up ran into the closed left door, chipping a front tooth and breaking my nose. Some low-key burns from Mongolian Beef sauce as I fell but the highlight was the face in the door. New Secret life video! It's LONG and as dry as everything else but great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q43tZ6DjuIE

As an adult, the worst I have done to myself in a kitchen was slice the very tip of a finger off while cutting a capsicum in half (Bell pepper to you american weirdos). I bandaged it, then stretched an old plastic bag over it and secured it with a rubber band before finishing my food prep (To keep blood out of my food. Hygiene is important). Before this comes off as me being some kind of tough person, I was swearing the entire time. As a kid, I was extremely young and pulled a pot of hot water off the stove and onto me. My mother ripped my shirt off over my head, getting the water off me before I could burn all over, but I have a scar just above my left elbow joint where water actually made contact with skin and burned me.

I did basically the same thing. ~18 months old, toddling around the place, reached up to a coffee table to steady myself, pulled a pot of boiling coffee down on me. My mother, who was a nurse before she was married, got me straight into the bathroom sluicing cold water on me for half an hour then to hospital. No skin grafts, fortunately, just a crinkly scar on my right foot that I completely forget about until someone reminds me of it.

Before this comes off as me being some kind of tough person, I was swearing the entire time. Eh, it happens occasionally. Standard practice at one of my old kitchens was to cut a finger off a latex glove and tape it on. Like a tiny little condom  The OSHA/unsanitary part here is that the owner never sourced some proper tape that didn't come loose in water and folks wouldn't wear another glove on top. E: this is also more a collection of health violations, but jesus christ I have seen and been told to do some sketchy poo poo at some restaurants. Cook a frozen steak straight from the freezer (this was only for one regular customer, but still), the boss' family cooking up food in their kitchen at home instead of using the proper kitchen, just... not keeping records on daily date/hygiene checks, washing salad greens in the same sink used for rinsing mussels...  Probably the worst was a totally checked out chef telling me that most of the mussels were closed but just to serve them anyways.

Regardless of the things it really means, it stands for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the regulatory agency of the US Department of Labor that is responsible for workplace safety. Unless you work in a mine, in which case the agency responsible is the MSHA, the Mine Safety and Health Administration. Mines have their own particular lethal hazards and need a separate regulatory body.

Looks like Taiwan, there's a lot of trees on top of buildings that really shouldn't be. You'll see root networks from trees going down sides of buildings and through drains like that, it's great. People love putting trees in pots on roofs or balconies, and they just keep growing. Post-apocalyptic, pre-apocalypse.   Can't find my favorite one, a tree on the top of a 6th story building in Taipei's XimenDing with roots going down the pipes, similar to the video
