Worker was "barring down" feed material in an attempt to clear a "plug" in the cone crusher. During the process, the worker injured his left, "pinky" finger (most likely when the worker's finger was "pinched" between the bar, and another object - cone, rock, etc). The worker was wearing gloves at the time of the incident.
Worker was attempting to straighten a piece of metal, approximately 2"W x 4"L x 1/2"thick by laying it on top of a bench vise (unsecured), and striking it with a hammer. Upon striking the piece of metal, it popped up, and struck the worker in the lip resulting in a laceration that required stitches.
