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 machine operation or simply to switch between different modes. An emergency stop switch or pushbutton, however, is mainly used as a safety measure to stop hazardous events.
