An experienced lift engineer told an inquest he could not explain why his labourer decided to work in 'the wrong' lift shaft where he was crushed to death.
Sandy Noble, 33, wasn't qualified as a lift engineer and nor was he qualified to work alongside one, the inquest has previously heard.
Mr Noble, a father from Scarborough, died of head and neck injuries when he was working at Royal Oldham Hospital on February 22, 2021.
An inquest heard he appeared to be working on the wrong lift and had used a screwdriver to prop open the doors and render it inoperable while he worked in the lift shaft but it had 'come loose'.
