While attempting to clear a buildup of material in a chute, the EE used a pry bar to dislodge the obstruction. During the process, the employee struck downward with the bar, causing the material to break loose unexpectedly. As a result, the EE's hand made contact with the side of the chute, leading to a laceration on the middle finger of the right hand that required three sutures.
