The Local posted an article about a chef who was injured during an internship at a restaurant in Sweden. The chef was placed in this position by an employment agency that is run by a state agency. He was trying to put a large saucepan in the refrigerator during the lunch rush and slipped and let go of the pan. His other hand got caught in the pan and as he fell to the floor the weight of the pan severed a muscle in his upper arm. After ample rest and surgery, medical professionals have concluded that he will suffer from a permanent injury and physical disability for the rest of his life. The chef filed a disability claim as a result of the outcome and will receive $2,800.
This is an unfortunate injury. I am curious about safety regulations in Sweden.
I wonder what was in that pan that was so heavy is severed a muscle in his arm. I feel bad that the chef is permanently disable due to a freak accident. The article stated that the state compensated him $2,800 but isn't clear if that is a one time payment or a monthly payment. I hope for his sake it is a monthly amount as his career is certainly worth more than $2,800.
No matter how careful you are accidents still occur.
