At approximately 8:15 a.m. on February 11, 1999, Employee #1, a transmission mechanic was seriously injured while taking an engine vacuum reading. The employer is a transmission repair shop. They handle automobiles and light-duty trucks. The truck was brought into the shop by its owner stating the transmission took too long to shift. Employee #1 wanted to take an engine vacuum reading prior to making adjustments. The truck was parked part way inside the second bay doorway from the office.
