«Breaking News» Hardware store was forced to change its sangas after Trevor, 65, slipped on a caramelised onion

A farmer who suffered a painful fall after slipping on a caramelised onion at Bunnings has welcomed a health and safety move to put onions at the bottom of their iconic sausage sizzles.

The hardware giant announced on Tuesday those running the charity BBQs have been instructed to add onions before placing the sausages on top - so they don't fall out and become a slipping hazard.

Three years ago, Trevor, who cannot reveal his last name, fell backwards after he stepped on an onion while entering Gympie Bunnings, in Queensland, to buy a whipper snipper, ABC reported.

'I walked into store and it happened so fast, I had leather boots on, I went down on my back,' the farmer said.

The 65-year-old, who used to be an amateur boxer, said he was cautious of hitting his head on the ground.

'When I went down, that is the first thing I thought of — 'don't let your head hit the concrete'. 

After the fall, the hardware giant offered to call an ambulance but he declined, assuming he would be okay.

But the following day, Trevor said he realised the extent of his injuries and became concerned about his new hip, which he had recently had replaced.

This pushed him to pursue Bunnings for the emotional stress caused by the accident.

Trevor was compensated by Bunnings and signed a non-disclosure agreement. 

While the onion switch-up has been met with humourous commentary, Trevor is adamant the change is important.

'It is serious stuff, this onion thing,' he said.

Trevor said he suffered a panic attack upon his return to Bunnings, and whenever he visits the store he is sure to check the floor for onions.

Bunnings Chief Operating Officer Debbie Poole said Bunnings and their 294 stores were taking a stand on safety. 

'Safety is always our number one priority and we recently introduced a suggestion that onion be placed underneath sausages to help prevent the onion from falling out and creating a slipping hazard.'

'Regardless of how you like your onion and snag, we are confident this new serving suggestion will not impact the delicious taste or great feeling you get when supporting your local community group,' she said.

'This recommendation is provided to the community groups within their fundraising sausage sizzle welcome pack and is on display within the gazebos when barbeques are underway.' 

The Bunnings sausage sizzle is one part of the company's commitment to community support.

Community groups, from school committees to sporting clubs, are given the chance each week to help raise money for their cause by getting prime position at the warehouse doors.  

Community groups and charities wishing to run their own Bunnings sausage sizzle need to send a written submission to their nearest Bunnings Warehouse for consideration.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
