So not that it diminishes the tragedy but it sounds like this was a worker that was working on a malfunctioning piece of machinery and that's what caused the accident.

Not a case of ML vision misclassified something, but rather an industrial piece of machinery malfunctioned.

A manufacturer of office gear in the Netherlands had one that would 'every now and then' come down randomly. It turned out to be a relay in an ancient AC unit that generated so much interference that it triggered the control of the press. Super dangerous, and very hard to trouble shoot what the cause was.
