Safety Switches
Many of Australia’s domestic residences are protected by safety switches of various designs and some are now several decades old.
Queensland has the most comprehensive legislative requirements for the installation and retrofitting of safety switches of any Australian jurisdiction and now has the highest penetration of safety switches in domestic premises of any Australian jurisdiction at more than 63 per cent of homes.
Safety switches can and do save lives. In the last ten years safety switches would have prevented 33 fatalities (56 per cent).
