Height Requirement for a mechanical push button e-stop
Height Requirement for a mechanical push button e-stop
(OP)
Holiday greetings to all.
I'm looking for a confirmation source for the height required of manual push button e-stops. They are being used on a electro/mechanical test bench that runs cal fluid [ Mil 7024 ] as the test medium. I believe it comes from NFPA or ANSI however I am having no luck digging it out.

Check out some good books about ergonomics, drafting, or architecture.

OSHA and the Electrical codes. An e-stop has to be accessible to any operator working on the machine.There is a minimum distance specified in one of the above sources. Height is important as far as making it easy to reach. An operator has a reach diameter of 37 inches. Take that into consideration.
