    Why the fuck wouldn't you engineer a walk in oven to have an emergency lever on the inside?

    Or like... A door handle

      It would. As well as many other safety features. If we ever hear about what happened, it won't likely be a story of "trapped and couldn't escape".

        Walk in freezers don't have handles on the inside either mate there is a very strong chance these don't either.

        Why? Capitalism and no oversight regulations with teeth, that's why.

        "Trapped in oven and couldn't escape" is not uncommon. I invite you to google and restrict your search to a time before the recent news:

        All this death could literally be solved by a single fucking safety law placed on workplaces.

          That entire page you linked is all one single incident of a guy at a kayak factory, and by what you pictured the kayak factory was found guilty of something, which means they weren't doing something correctly or to code.

          As to freezers, at least in the US they can all be opened from the inside, latched closed or not. It's actually against building regulations and fire code to have it any other way.

          *edit: additional fun fact- the reason your house fridge closes with just a magnet strip instead of a latch mechanism happened like 70 years ago because sometimes kids would climb in them to play or hide (often old ones outside or at junk yards) and die. It was known as "The Refrigerator Safety Act".
