Narrative

Employee was clearing a chunk of slag out from the #3 product feeder with a pneumatic jack hammer. When the chunk split in half and fell, it pushed the jack hammer bit down while pivoting off of the side of the feeder and the body/handle end of the jack hammer pushed upwards. The employee's right index finger was pinched between the jack hammer handle and an overhead water line.
