## Narrative

The #1 hoist electrical breaker was locked out to allow mine personnel to reposition the brake counter weight proximity switch. After repositioning was completed, the #1 hoist electrical breaker would not turn back on preventing the mine from raising and lowering personnel with the #1 hoist. The mine still maintained two means of egress with the #2 and #3 hoists.
