Compensation for Second Degree Burns at Work
Ms W was working in a restaurant, when she was scalded by boiling water that was spilled over her by a colleague with whom she collided in the kitchen. She sustained second degree burns to her chest and arms, and was in severe pain and hysterical following the accident. The restaurant had not provided Ms W with a protective apron, which most of the other kitchen workers wore, and this would have protected her from the worst effects of the boiling water.
Ms W’s skin was red and swollen, and soon began to crack and blister. Her injuries caused her pain and discomfort for 4 weeks after the incident, though she was not left with any permanent scarring. She was however off work for 3 weeks, and being a part-time worker was not paid during that time.
