Safety Switch Initiative
Clipsal Australia response to $50 million government safety switch initiative
According to Damien Cummins, Executive General Manager, Clipsal Australia, “Clipsal supports the government initiative to install electrical safety switches to help correct faults in the home insulation scheme. Electrical safety in the home, as witnessed by recent events, should be an absolute priority.”
“Total home protection is a good thing regardless of the insulation issues.”
Since the late 70's, Clipsal products have pioneered the development of safety switches in Australia. The Clipsal Lifesaver range of permanent switchboard mounted safety switches, installed by a licensed electrical contractor, offer the most comprehensive selection available.
Each switch will "trip" or cut the power in less than 40 milliseconds, fast enough to save a life. Most people are already familiar with the Lifesaver Switchboard series of safety switches. These are available in an extensive range of current ratings and sensitivities to provide complete protection for all power and lighting circuits. They are designed to save lives and help prevent house fires caused by faulty wiring.
Numerous consumer and commercial clients have contacted the company directly praising the products for saving their lives and protecting equipment.
Clipsal has also been preparing a Home Health Check, a safety and energy audit offering service that the company plans to release through its extensive customer network of electrical contractors.
Electrical contractors can offer the best advice and solutions to ensure the complete electrical safety of the home and also offer valuable energy saving advice.
