A person has died after a workplace incident in Ōmokoroa today, police confirmed.

Police received a report of an injured person shortly after 1.15pm at a workplace on Te Kaka Pl.

"Emergency services attended but sadly, the person has died at the scene," a police spokesperson said.

An investigation is underway and WorkSafe has been notified. Police declined to say what kind of workplace the incident happened at.
