Collie police senior sergeant Mike Dean said they were investigating the death of a man who fell down an elevator shaft.
At this stage no suspicious circumstances are involved.
The company issued a statement this morning to confirm a full investigation was underway.
"We regret to confirm that an employee working at our refinery was fatally injured in an incident in the powerhouse on September 29," it said.
"We extend our deepest condolences and support to the deceased's family, friend and colleagues at this difficult time."
The inquiry is being continued today by WorkSafe, the Department of Mines and Petroleum and police.
The site is in its 30th year of operations with celebrations planned for later this year.
More to come.
