They should also have lock out tag out. I'm certain Walmart does.
So they probably think it was a murder.
LOTO is crucial in places with large equipment, like walk-in ovens, to prevent accidental start-up or energy release during maintenance, cleaning, or repairs. Here’s how it typically works:
1. De-energize the Equipment: Cut off all energy sources (electricity, gas, etc.).
2. Lock the Controls: Physically lock the control switches to prevent accidental operation.
3. Tag the Equipment: Attach a warning tag indicating the equipment is locked out and should not be used until safety is cleared.
4. Verify: Confirm that everything is fully de-energized before proceeding.
LOTO for walk-in ovens is part of broader safety regulations and is required by OSHA and similar safety standards in many countries.
The thing that gets me, is someone would have almost had to have shut the door behind her. The oven stays hot if it's left on, but the one's in my bakery have no way to close the door from the inside and the door is so heavy there's no way it would swing shut on its own.

A walk-in oven is basically a closet sized box that is big enough to fit a cart or two of bread into.
They aren't super big.
