Safety Switches

ABOUT

Safety Switches

Routine safety switch testing helps protect occupants from electric shock by ensuring the electricity supply is shut off when a current leakage is detected. Regular testing provides peace of mind and ensures landlords and property managers meet their responsibilities.

For added reassurance, our technicians can check the safety switch during your scheduled smoke alarm service. If a fault is detected, we’ll arrange a swift replacement by a licensed electrician for a fixed fee.

Inclusions

  • Safety switch testing
  • Compliance Report

Legislation 

  • For homes constructed after 1992 it is a legal requirement to have safety switches installed on all power circuits in all rental properties.
  • Properties built prior to 1992 may not have safety switches installed. It is strongly recommended to install safety switches on all circuits including power and lighting to ensure tenant safety.
  • For sales properties sold without a safety switch, the new owner must install a safety switch for power circuits within three months of the property transfer.
  • It is recommended that safety switches be tested every three months to ensure correct functioning.
  • The installation and maintenance of safety switches are governed by the Electricity Act 1996 and the Electricity (General) Regulations 2012 in South Australia. These laws mandate that landlords ensure all electrical installations and appliances in rental properties are safe and comply with relevant standards.
