it's not even the first this year. But yeah, from https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-67354709 (non-paywalled coverage of the same story) it sounds very much like not doing lockout/tagout or at least hitting the e-Stop before inspecting something.

Looks like South Korea has an osha-equivalent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_Occupational_Safety_and_... but I have no idea if they have modern robot safety standards.

That was exactly my thought when reading it. If the e-stop had been depressed this likely would have never happened. But with the system live all bets are off, especially if it is already malfunctioning. You're essentially one queued G-code away from getting mauled.
