Depends if the workers family have any legal recourse. The company shouldn't be allowed to just not give the correct PPE and if there are no consequences then that blame lies with the government as they create and maintain the regulatory environment.

Government cannot expect private companies to look after their staff to an acceptable level, they need to legislate to make sure it happens.
