Narrative

An employee turned off the main underground fan in order to apply shotcrete near the fan. Underground mobile equipment still operating caused elevated levels of NO2. The miners were brought out of the mine, the main fan restarted, the mine reventilated, and gas tests completed in all work areas before returning miners to work.
