## Narrative

The 8' hoist was found to be having an electrical problem that prevented it from moving up or down without tripping out. 2 employees were on the skip at the time performing normal maintenance. After discussions with the maker and with MSHA Inspector George Olivier, the skip was lowered to the 1300' level using the braking system, the employees then came to the surface
