Narrative

At the end of the shift the hoist operator was not able to get the brakes on #3 hoist to release. The supervisor was called and they began to troubleshoot. When it was realized that it would take more than 30 minutes to correct MSHA was notified. The issue was the pumps were building pressure but the brakes would not release.
