Tampa, FL (April 18, 2025) – A workplace injury occurred today at a restaurant in Tampa, Florida, when a kitchen worker slipped on a wet floor, causing significant injury. The incident took place around 11:00 a.m., during the lunch rush, when the worker was moving between the kitchen and storage area.
According to initial reports, the worker was carrying supplies when they slipped on a wet spot near the dishwashing station, causing them to fall and hit their head on the tile floor. The worker, a 26-year-old woman, was immediately attended to by co-workers and emergency services. She was later transported to a nearby hospital with a concussion and a sprained wrist.
The restaurant has reported that they are reviewing their safety procedures to ensure that spills are quickly addressed, and floor mats are properly placed to avoid similar accidents in the future. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) has been notified and will likely conduct an investigation to ensure the restaurant is in compliance with safety standards.
We extend our thoughts to the injured worker and wish them a full and speedy recovery.
