South Australia Police say a man has died in a workplace incident at Vista, in Adelaide's north-eastern suburbs.

A portion of Leopold Street was taped off on Friday afternoon after emergency services responded to the incident about 12:15pm.

Police say a 26-year-old Linden Park man died at the scene. There were several police vehicles parked outside the suburban home, while multiple SES workers were also at the scene. An SA Power Networks truck arrived about 2.30pm and workers were seen examining a power pole at the end of the street.

A SafeWork SA spokesperson told the ABC it was notified of the incident earlier today, and that an investigator and inspector were attending the scene to make enquiries.

Police will prepare a report for the coroner.
