An electrical safety switch is a device fitted to an electrical circuit that quickly switches off the electrical supply if it detects an electrical fault. It minimises the risk of electrical fires & shocks.In Queensland, all homes built since 1992 have been legally required to have safety switches installed on all power & lighting circuits.Queensland legislation requires all Landlords to ensure all electrical equipment in their rental property – including electrical safety switches – is safe.Penalties for not adhering to the current legislation include fines up to $200,000 and 3 years imprisonment.There must be a regular maintenance program to ensure all electrical equipment continues to be safe, so we arrange electrical safety switch checks for our Landlords’ properties every time a new lease begins.
