## Narrative

A production process attendant injured EE's left middle finger while pushing in a pin on the chute above the clinker cooler drag conveyor. When pushing in the pin to break up the chunk, the chunk cleared causing EE's forward momentum to strike EE's hand between the pin and the chute.  This resulted in a laceration and fracture of the left middle finger.
