Hi Steve, As far as ISO 13850 and ISO 12100 are concerned, there is no problem with a button on a post lagged to the floor. As long as the estop device is located “within reach” of the operator’s normal location, usually interpreted as about 1 m either side of the centreline of the workstation or position where a worker is expected to be, then it’s fine. If there is no defined workstation, then you’ll either need a post every 2 m with a button on it, or an overhead pull cord with drop cables and t-handles or triangular grips dropped every 2 m along the length of the cable.
Have a look at my article, https://machinerysafety101.com/2018/08/28/emergency-stop-pull-cords/. There are some suggestions for drop handles in the “markers” section.
