Switchboard upgrades Brisbane: start with the right safety questions

Queensland Electrical Safety Office guidance distinguishes safety switches from circuit breakers and advises using a licensed electrician for electrical work. Use the assessment form to describe the property and questions you want addressed.

Common switchboard questions

What is a safety switch?
ESO describes it as protection against electric shock; a licensed electrician can assess coverage.
I have circuit breakers. Is that the same thing?
No. ESO distinguishes circuit protection from safety-switch shock protection.
How do I know I have a safety switch?
ESO says to look for a T or test button; ask an electrician if unsure.
I already have a safety switch, do I need additional ones?
ESO recommends considering coverage on all home circuits; a provider confirms the actual board.
Are safety switches failsafe?
No. ESO says regular test-function checks remain important.
