Default is it safe to dim a receptacle?

I'm remembering the story of the guy on the factory line,
who wanted to tie a rope, to the killswitch which was on the
second floor catwalk. Too many times, something would drop
into the machine, and someone would have to run at full
speed up the flight of stairs (or the ladder) to yank on the
killswitch. Which could mean some major body damage, if
someone was reaching in.

So, he writes the proposal. Tie a rope to the disconnect, so
if the problem is at the lower level, we can pull the rope.

Management denied the application. Why? Because during a
shutdown, someone might push the rope up, thus restarting
the equipment in a dangerous manner.
