About this listen
Description
There are multiple types of emergency stops on the market and today, I want to discuss the over-use of shrouded emergency stops on installations, and where it’s inappropriate to install one.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Location - can you change where it is, so that it does not get inadvertently knocked?
Alternative direction - to think about how it is mounted, and the way in which it is facing.
Size of pushbutton - can you change it to a smaller size so that it does not get knocked?
Type - can it be changed for a wire rope style or something equally suitable?
