Narrative

8 Shaft hoist went down while taking the night shift crew into the mine. A ground fault issue on the surface caused an undervoltage event. There were 2 faults that occurred on the hoist motor. The first was found relatively quickly, but the second one took some time to find. Therefore, the crew was stuck on the cage for over 30 minutes. We notified MSHA at 11:25PM.
