Narrative

1 contractor descending in the PHT Personnel Elevator attempted to open the door to stop the car, instead of riding it to the floor that was called. This incorrect use of the elevator trips a micro switch in the door latch and stops the elevator from working. Elevator company was called to free the miner. Contractors signed a document highlighting accepted uses the next day.
