Sometimes this isn’t possible if the machine needs to stay up to temp, like with plastic injection molders. In those cases, the operation can usually be stopped by a padlock placed somewhere on the controls. There’s usually training about it for everyone involved to make sure they know what’s up.

When preparing/working on a machine, TURN IT OFF. IT IS LITERALLY THE FIRST STEP WHEN REPAIR ANY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT.

And if there’re multiple people involved each one should have their own pad lock placed on the controls.

And unplug it. And lock it out so some dumbass can’t plug it back in and turn it on.

That too, but Jesus, how dense do you have to be to not even turn the machine off?
