SINGAPORE — While carrying out repair work on the top of a lift car at the Chan Brothers Building along North Bridge Road, Hossain Mohammad Sahid found himself pinned against the lift's guide s

The authorities could not provide effective medical treatment for his injuries, including a 30cm by 10cm gash to his left arm, due to the confined space, which also hindered the Singapore Civil Defence Force's efforts to extricate the foreign worker.On Tuesday , Coroner Christopher Goh issued his official findings over the Bangladeshi’s death, ruling it to be an unfortunate misadventure.

He instructed a colleague, Rafiqul, to enter the lift car to see if the panels were aligned, while he tightened some screws from the top of the lift car. Wong claimed that Hossain then asked him to control the lift from the lift control room instead, and suggested that they communicate through a WhatsApp call.

Wong went to the third floor to check on Hossain, whose hand was stuck in between the guiderail bracket and the lift car. Because the team did not have the correct equipment to extricate Hossain, they activated its disaster and fire rescue team. Hossain was still conscious but was having trouble breathing at this stage.
