Saftey Switch Installations
WORKSAFE QUEENSLAND SAYS THE FOLLOWING
Regardless of whether you own or rent, you should consider having safety switches installed on all circuits. Safety switches protect you, your family and anyone visiting the property from electric shock. The risk is real. One safety switch may not be enough. If you are unsure, call your electrician to see if your home is safe.
