Narrative

At approximately 5:00pm the Silver Shaft Hoistman was performing his checks when the hoist faulted and displayed a North Brake not Released Fault. No Miners were on either conveyance. Electricians found the North Brake Release Limit Switch was out of adjustment. Electricians corrected the problem and pre-shift checks were completed and Hoist was released to Production.
