What does a safety switch do?

It has two purposes. One is to protect people from residual current, which helps to prevent electric shock or electrocution. The other is to shut down the mains power supply as soon as it detects power leakage, which helps to prevent overheating and/or fire.

A circuit breaker is not a safety switch. A circuit breaker will help to prevent power overloading, when you plug in too many appliances. A safety switch will cut the power to the circuit.

Why are they important?

Safety switches are an integral part of a modern switchboard and are fixed into place, preventing live terminals from becoming exposed. Every switchboard should have at least two safety switches; this has been an Australian requirement in any new homes being built since 1990.

Frankston safety switches are not expensive and can help save people and property. To ensure optimum performance when you need it most, you should ensure your safety switches are regularly maintained and tested.
