An output signal switching device (OSSD) is an electronic device used as part of the safety system of a machine. It provides a coded signal which, when interrupted due to a safety event, signals the machine to shut down. It works by converting the standard direct current supply, usually 24 volts, into two pulsed and out-of-phase signals.
Mover won't touch certain things for one main reason: safety. While that leaves them in your hands, safety should be no less of a consideration. That's especially true for flammable and toxic items.
In firearms, a safety or safety catch is a mechanism used to help prevent the accidental discharge of a firearm, helping to ensure safer handling.

Safety regulations of the utility must prevent any attempt to open the disconnector while it supplies a circuit. Standards in some countries for safety may require either local motor isolators or lockable handles (which can be padlocked). IEC standard 62271-102 defines the functionality and features of a disconnector.
A safety wire is used to ensure proper security for a fastener. The wire needed is long enough to reach from a fixed location to a hole in the removable fastener, such as a pin — a clevis fastener, sometimes a linchpin or hitch-pin through a clevis yoke for instance — and the wire pulled back upon itself, parallel to its other end, then twisted, a single end inserted through a fastener ...
