An employee was operating a copper transfer conveyor to move a copper pipe (3-inch diameter, 34-foot length) when the pipe jammed on the conveyor lip. The employee manually cleared the jam. Once the pipe was unjammed, it began moving down the conveyor causing the employee to stumble backward and catch his right hand in the gear chain assembly, resulting in the amputation of his index, middle and ring fingertips without bone loss.
