## Narrative

A crew of employees was cleaning out an asphalt burner/drum due to excessive buildup. The burner/drum was de-energized and was being manually turned to allow excessive buildup to fall onto a drag conveyor. Some of the large chunks became lodged on the drag conveyor, and the injured employee used a 5-foot steel bar to knock out the chunks. He reached down with his left hand when another large chunk struck his hand and pinned it between the steel bar and the drag conveyor. The employee suffered an amputation of the index finger and a laceration to the middle finger.
