A fryer can be a very dangerous piece of kitchen equipment or food preparation equipment. Fryers not only heat oil to a dangerously high temperature, but the fryer itself can be very hot to the touch, which requires that the fryer be placed in a specific area of the kitchen away from flammable materials and that employees avoid touching the equipment itself during use.

Furthermore, because fryers heat oil, they can also cause damaging kitchen fires if the oil jumps out of the fryer and lands on a flammable surface. Unlike some kitchen fires, fryer fires cannot be extinguished with water.

The Fryer Safety Easy Solutions poster is designed to remind employees how to safely use a fryer without causing injury to themselves or to other employees or guests. The Fryer Safety Easy Solutions poster also alerts employees to best practice solutions for extinguishing an oil fire caused by the fryer. By following the tips on this poster, employees can avoid injury and improve their food preparation efficiencies when they use a fryer.
