A takeaway shop in Melbourne’s northeast has been fined $75,000 after an employee’s hair became stuck in a rotisserie machine. The 22-year-old was working at Souvlaki GR in Plenty in February 2022 when the accident occurred. She was reaching for a takeaway container lid placed on a high shelf when her ponytail became entangled in a turning cog of a rotisserie machine. The woman yelled for help, with a co-worker coming to her aid and pressing the emergency stop button.
“ the first time they became aware of the existence of workplace policies and procedures and their location in the workplace,” the work safety watchdog said. “It was reasonably practicable for the company to have provided and maintained a safe system of work which required employees to wear personal protective equipment, namely hairnets and/or securing long hair in a bun.” The shop also should not have stored the takeaway containers above the rotisserie machine.
