Ken Penton from the steelworkers' union community said: "We've had no confirmation of the extent of any injuries, nor of the scale of the accident, nor the cause of it.
"The emergency services have cordoned off the area and are in charge of the scene," he explained.
Mr Penton said he understood the incident had occurred in blast furnace number 4 which had recently been shut down for normal maintenance.
He said union officials were waiting to speak to the management of Corus to find out more.
"We're trying to make sure the steelworks have become safer and safer, but regrettably they are dangerous places, where people are working with materials at very hot temperatures.
"We're trying to reduce risk but you can never completely eliminate it," he added.
