Workers have returned to a Greenway office building evacuated earlier this morning after an emergency services staff investigation into the cause of a smoke smell found nothing.

ACT Fire & Rescue worked with electricians on the investigation but were unable to determine the cause of the smell of smoke.

Firefighters had earlier evacuated approximately 30 people as a precaution from the building on the corner of Reed Street North and Anketell Street.

ACT Fire & Rescue and ACT Ambulance Service first responded to the incident at around 9am.

Hazmat conducted atmospheric monitoring and found the area was clear. No one required treatment from paramedics.
