Richard,
"Readily accessible" means not obstructed by furniture or equipment. The
shutoff will be wall mounted, in a visible location, at a height where
persons of short stature can reach it, but not so low as to require
crouching to reach it. Local codes may specify a height range. It should
also have padlock holes so that lockout/tagout procedures may be employed
for maintenance.
