About this template
A ready-to-run talk that takes about 10 to 15 minutes. It explains what a safety switch does and does not do, shows where the Electrical Safety Regulation 2026 sets safety switch and testing rules for each type of work, and covers licensed electrical work, leads and tags, and what to do and who to tell after a shock. It prints no test intervals.
