Narrative

Miners were working in the mine when one of the ITX gas detectors went into alarm with 2ppm SO2. Not knowing the source the mine was evacuated as a precautionary measure and MSHA notified. Subsequent checks with a Dragger hand pump and other investigation we determined that it was a false reading related to ITX SO2 calibration.
