Narrative

Hoist operator heard a buzzing noise coming from the breaker area for the main hoist. EE had an electrician look into it and said a coil could be getting ready to fail. As a precaution we took the main hoist out of service for diagnosis and/or repair. Miners evacuated out the escape shaft. No miners were injured.
