Narrative

Two miners were ascending in the preheat tower personnel elevator when it stopped between the 5th and 6th floors. Miners were entrapped at 8:55am. Doors were checked and power cycled before a service call was placed with OTIS Elevator. The Service Tech arrived and the two miners were able to get out at 10:07am. A faulty Safety Overflow Switch was the issue.
