Homegrown Juice Company Limited director Steve Brownlie have previously said the company was deeply saddened by the loss of one of their staff.
The factory and office was closed on June 15 while investigations were carried out.
Nationally this work-place fatality was the fourth within a week but each case would be assessed by WorkSafe to ensure that it met the criteria before it was included in the official statistics.
WorkSafe figures show that the Hastings incident was the second work-related fatality reported for Hawke's Bay this year.
In March, Hawke's Bay Regional Council senior resource technician Michael Francis Taylor, 44, was killed on a rural farm in Ashley Clinton after a vehicle he was travelling in left a farm track and rolled.
The toll is already catching up to last year's high of three recorded work-related deaths.
Since 2011 Hawke's Bay has had 20 workplace fatalities.
The government, in 2012, set a target to reduce work-related fatalities and serious injuries by 25 per cent by 2020, with an interim target of 10 per cent by 2016.
The latest release by WorkSafe showed that positive progress is being made towards the target reductions for fatal and serious non-fatal injury, with fatal work-related injuries at the lowest rate since the data series began in 2002.
The release stated that recent WorkSafe estimate data suggests that the recent improvement in the rate of fatal injury may be slowing, while international comparisons with Australia and the United Kingdom confirm that despite progress, New Zealand's fatal injury rate remains higher.
