Police confirmed they were at the scene on Kaikorai Valley Rd, but said no further information was available at this time.
WorkSafe said it had been notified of an incident at a manufacturing business in Kenmure and was making initial inquiries.
"Manufacturing is a priority under WorkSafe's new strategy, as it has the largest total number of injuries of any sector.
"Incidents involving machinery remain a common cause of acute harm. Injury rates in manufacturing have stayed the same or increased over the last decade, even when they have decreased in other sectors," a spokesperson said.
