emergency cutoff
Crisis shutdown switch
An emergency cutoff is a mechanism or switch designed to shut down equipment or systems instantly in dangerous situations.
Industrial machinery, gas lines, and electrical systems typically have emergency cutoffs—often large red buttons or levers—that halt operations when something goes wrong: Hit the emergency cutoff before the pressure builds further.
