The 8' hoist "tripped" during its ascent in the shaft traveling empty. The hoist operator took the hoist out-of-servie per protocol. As the mine was left with one operating hoist, all miners were withdrawn to the surface. The root cause was determined to be a failed circuit control board. The hoist was returned to service after the board was replaced.
