As of the 1st of January 2019, all new homes being constructed must have all their circuits protected by safety switches. If your house was built before this date it is most likely substandard.
Why are they so important?

A safety switch will detect leakage current and will trip the circuit within as little as 30 milliseconds. This stops the flow of electricity through the body of the person and significantly reduces the risk of death or serious injury. They can also help prevent an electrical fire from starting.

"How do I test if my safety switch is working?"
Safety switches have a ‘TEST’ button on the front face near or under the reset tab, If all of the devices in your switchboard do not have a ‘TEST’ function they are not all safety switches and your switchboard is likely substandard. If in doubt call us and we can give you a FREE visual audit of your switchboard.

The test button should be used several times each year to test that the safety switch is still functioning, If it does not cause the safety switch to trip this needs to be replaced by a qualified electrical contractor.
