Electrical outlets and switches
- Easily-accessible powerpoints, switches and controls can be reached from sitting and standing positions.
- At least three separate circuits, each with safety switches, are fitted in the home so that some power remains when a fault occurs.
- Large rocker-type light switches are easy to operate for people of varying abilities.
- Having sufficient powerpoints located throughout the home avoids occupants using trailing flexes and double adaptors for their appliances. This reduces the likelihood of accidents involving electricity.
