A man is being taken to Nelson hospital following a workplace incident in the Tasman Region.

The worker's hand was trapped in machinery near Tapawera.

He's suffering from moderate injuries and is being transported by ambulance.

A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesperson said they responded to the call out but by the time they arrived the man was already free.

St John staff were first on the scene but a spokesperson said police and Fire and Emergency New Zealand also responded to the call-out.

A staff member at Glenrae Hops was upset and said he couldn't talk about the incident, then hung up.

St John declined comment on the nature of the injuries.
