A St John spokesperson said an ambulance was called to the Victoria Street premises just after 11am but the person had already died from their injuries.

A Worksafe spokesperson said the matter was now being looked in to and that investigators were currently at the scene.

They would not say if the person was a contractor working at the business or if it was their regular place of work.
