After the incident of the 15-year-old boy who died from reportedly being electrocuted in the shower, the Singapore Electrical Contractors and Licensed Electrical Workers Association wants to raise awareness on circuit breaker maintenance.
And it’s really not hard to carry out your own checks. Just press the ‘test’ button — it’s usually displayed with a ‘T’ on the circuit breaker, which is a safety device every household has. When the breaker lever trips and flips down, and all electricity cuts off after you press the button, the circuit breaker has done its job.
