Narrative

The hoist operator inadvertently bumped a power switch when he hung up the pager phone which disrupted power to the accumulator pump. The computer detected this and locked out the hoist. Since it was on a weekend it took the operator considerable time to make notifications and get someone to come in to troubleshoot the problem. See 50.11 report for more detail.
