Narrative

8 miners got on Metz elevator at the bottom. They shut the inner door, but did not shut the outer door and hit the call up button. This shut the elevator down for a latch switch fault. They were trapped until another miner shut the outer door and reset the fault at 12:36 am. No problems with mining methods, PPE, training or compliance issues.
