Dave Davidson, Maintenance Coordinator at Dana Corp asked:

If you move an E-stop button from the original machine manufacturers stock location, did you or your company just assume liability if someone were to get hurt while operating the machine, because he or she could not reach the button in its new location?

SafetyMan says:

OSHA CFR 1910.212 requires that the employer provide a safe working environment. So, you are responsible even if you do not move the e-stop control once the machine is in your plant. NFPA 79 requires that e-stops be readily accessible to ALL employees working on or around the machine.
