Emergency Stop (E-Stop) SwitchesAn emergency stop (E-stop) switch is a type of safety switch that is used to quickly and easily shut off power to a machine or system in the event of an emergency. E-stop switches are commonly used in industrial and commercial settings, where they are used to prevent accidents and protect workers from potential hazards. E-stop switches are typically large, red buttons that are easy to see and press, even in an emergency situation. They are often placed in strategic locations around a machine or facility, so that they can be easily accessed by workers in case of an emergency. When pressed, an E-stop switch will immediately shut off power to the machine or system, allowing workers to quickly and safely stop the machine.
