Abstract: At approximately 5:00 p.m. on November 17, 1993, Employee #1, an experienced truck mechanic, was removing a 400-pound transmission from an International dump truck. He had run a jack up to the base of the transmission, placed blocking on the jack against the transmission, and looped a chain from the jack pad diagonally over the transmission and then back to the pad. Employee #1 then bolted the chain to the jack pad and unbolted the transmission from the truck. The transmission rolled partially off the jack. The edge of the bell housing pinched Employee #1's fingers against the floor, crushing the right index and middle fingers.
