Things to check to keep your Family Safe
Only a licensed electrician can do electrical work in your home.
You may purchase but cannot install electrical accessories (eg : junction boxes, light switches, plugs, powers points, light fittings without a cord) or fixed wire electrical applicances (ceiling fans, some light fittings, stoves, ovens, split system air conditioning).

If your house was built before 1992 - it may have not have a safety switch.
What is a Safety Switch ?
Safety Switches are your insurance against electric shock. They are designed to prevent injury or death.
They monitor the flow of electricity through a circuit. They automatically shut off the electricity supply when current is detected leaking from faulty switches, wiring or electrical appliances. This stops the chance of current flowing to earth, through a person, electrocuting them.
Installing a safety switch is an inexpensive safety measure that protects everyon.
