Narrative

EE was using a 10' pry bar attempting to remove material in chute. When applying pressure on the bar, material broke up, allowing sudden movement of the bar. EE's thumb was caught between the pry bar and an eyelet that had been welded on the chute, resulting in a small laceration to the right thumb. Laceration required 8 sutures to close.
