Height required of manual push button e-stops
Height required of manual push button e-stops
(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.

Take for instance a metal lathe. There are almost always a large red hand push button along side of the rest of the controls between waist and shoulder height. Then there will be a kill switch connected to a long steel cable almost the whole length of the lathe at foot level. This is used if the operator got caught up in the lathe or it was too dangerous too approach the normal controls kill switch.
Nothing wrong with having multiple stop switches. The more the merrier.
