Residential Safety and Security Checklist Choose high quality smoke alarms from a reputable supplier (Clipsal FireTek ® recommended). Test your Clipsal Safety Switch on a monthly basis by operating the inbuilt test function. Ensure you have more than one smoke alarm installed in your home and that they are suited to the area in which they are installed. Ensure all electrical work is carried out by a licensed and qualified electrical contractor. As tempting as it might be to perform unauthorised electrical work and minor repairs, it is important to remember the risk of electrocution. Also be aware that damage from unauthorised electrical work can also void home insurance policies. 5. Residential Safety and Security Checklist Fuses and circuit breakers are not Safety Switches. They are designed to safeguard electrical circuits from overloading to protect property, not people. Never use a power tool or appliance that you know is faulty or has a frayed cord. Always switch off a power outlet before you plug in or unplug any power tool or appliance. Neither Safety Switches or MCBs protect against electrical surges. To guard against this, surge protection devices are recommended both in the switchboard and within the home. Nuisance tripping of the Safety Switch could indicate a possible earth leakage problem due to faulty wiring or faulty appliance. Nuisance tripping of the circuit protection could indicate the possibility of excessive loads on a circuit and additional circuits may need to be installed from the switchboard to reduce the load. If your safety switch trips out immediately, or soon after being reset, then it is highly likely that you have a faulty appliance. You will need to disconnect all appliances on the protected circuit and individually test each one until you find the fault. clipsal.com 23
