While preparing a cutting torch to cut bolts on a gravity take-up pulley in the plant, the employee attempted to clear a clog from the tip of the torch with his gloved hand. The torch ignited while the tip was still in contact with his hand, causing 2nd degree burns to his left hand at the base of his middle finger.
