Colleagues of a man killed in a machinery accident will be offered grief counselling to deal with the loss of their workmate.
Tony White, 44, died when he fell on to machinery while working at the Hall Spars & Rigging company based in Silverdale, north of Auckland, on Friday.
Despite attempts by medical staff to resuscitate him, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Yesterday company director Gary Hassall said staff would meet today to discuss the accident and would be offered counselling.
Mr Hassall paid tribute to Mr White: "He had a good sense of humour and was the kind of guy who was keen to help anyone."
