SAFEHOUSE: PRODUCT GUIDES

What protects against unsafe protection?

All over South Africa there are millions of sub-standard, unsafe electrical products on offer and installed in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Despite compulsory specifications to protect users, unscrupulous and negligent suppliers make these products available at great risk to users who buy and install them.
