UPDATE 3.40PM: Earlier reports that the man involved in an accident at the Biggenden Meatworks had died were incorrect.

"We'll be investigating this and looking at the systems at work, the incident itself, and how that ramp was situated," the spokesman said.
Inspectors have begun their investigations at the site.
The Biggenden Meatworks has taken down their Facebook post from this morning advising customers that the facility was closed for the day.
