Narrative

A Production employee entered the tower elevator at ground level. During ascent the elevator stopped between floors 1 and 2. The employee radioed for assistance and attempts to reset proved unsuccessful. A safe rescue was performed via the roof hatch. A call was made to MSHA when it became apparent the rescue would take longer than 30 minutes.
