Narrative

The control system during start of shift hoist checks. A pneumatic relay on the 16' ore hoist brake control system was responding slowly due to the cold weather. This slow response was detected by a brake system sensor causing the hoist to trip. Overnight temperatures at the site reached the low 30's that night.
