It's important to note that in Australia, electrical accidents in the home are a real concern. As of December 2019, 40% of homes were without safety switches, and even in homes with safety switches, they often only protect power outlet circuits, neglecting light circuits. Taking safety seriously is crucial to preventing accidents and ensuring the well-being of your property and its occupants.
