Electrical safety in the home Safety switches

40% of house fires in NSW each year are caused by electrical faults and electrical appliances. This means up to 1800 house fires each year could have been prevented by getting the wiring checked by a licenced electrician and having safety switches installed.

Usually, properties built during or after the year 2000 will have safety switches installed. For properties built before the year 2000, it’s strongly recommended that you ask a licensed electrician to check.

Test safety switches twice a year to make sure they’re working properly to prevent the deadly risks of electric shock and fire.
