A man died days after he was seriously injured in a workplace accident at the Port of Tauranga.
Worksafe New Zealand, formerly the Department of Labour, is investigating an accident involving an ISO Limited staff member at the port on August 16.
St John Ambulance territory manager Ross Clarke said ambulances from Mount Maunganui and Tauranga were dispatched to an accident at the Port of Tauranga about 2.30am that day.
The man was taken to Tauranga Hospital in a serious condition, Mr Clarke said.
The Bay of Plenty Times believes the man was aged 59 and was airlifted from Tauranga Hospital to Waikato Hospital with head injuries under the watch of a team from the intensive care unit later the same day.
