What is the difference between a push-button switch for an emergency stop and a general-purpose push button switch?

A general-purpose push button switch is used for controls. For example, to start a machine operation or simply to switch modes. An emergency stop pushbutton switch is mainly used as a safety measure to stop hazardous events.
