This past summer I learned that we have been doing it backwards for years.
We have always used green=run and red=stop, makes sense like a traffic light.
The proper way is red=danger=run and green=safe=stop. I learned this after we installed some Siemens motor controls that were all assembled this way and I did some research to find out why.
I'm sure that there are ANSI standards to support this, but I don't know what they are.

Wow, just went back and read the links that bjarney provided......what a can of worms! Does anyone have access to NFPA 79?
