JOSEPH PAUNON, electrical-mechanical designer at AMFEC asked:

Is an e-stop required for an equipment (i.e. screw conveyor) with a simple start / stop control in order to be CE compliant-OSHA acceptable. Will a padlocking attachment forcing the stop PB to stay open satisfy e-stop requirements?

SafetyMan says:

All electrical equipment must be equipped with the proper e-stop. The device must comply with OSHA/NFPA Requirements. Using a padlock with a pushbutton is not correct or acceptable.
