A contractor was servicing the Alimak elevator at the fourth level of the pre-heater tower. The contractor was on top of the elevator and a mine employee was inside the elevator assisting. The person inside the elevator heard a clicking sound and the elevator started a downward descent. The contractor on top of the elevator received crushing injuries when the elevator moved.
