We rent a small warehouse in Sydney. Is it a requirement for landlords to install a safety switch?
Safety Switches in Industrial Property

Who cares - if you need one for your operation, pick up the phone, get 3 quotes and have it installed yourself....just ask the Lessor for their permission....I'm sure they won't mind you improving their property.
Don't dilly dally around as if you have your residential tenant hat on. Whip it off, get the minor improvement done with your own cash and get back to making money in your business. Job sorted.

It is a Residual Current Device which detects earth leakage and trips to prevent you becoming toast. (That's the simplistic version).
Absolutely cheap as chips and should be installed in every building.

Twobobsworth,
What business do you carry out that makes you think you require an RCD in an existing building?
Nothing is cheap as chips. In commercial installations and dependant on the existing metering & switchboard configuration the cost could run into the thousands. Let alone the cost to business if the equipment in the warehouse is older and leaky - requiring upgrading or replacement.

Naaahhhh, not even close benny boy....I reckon completely one eyed and biased would be closer....not a jot of objectivity here.
You know, you really should go into business with these fascinating wippy little one-liners that add nothing to the question being discussed. I'm sure the thread starter is much the wiser after your input. Well done.
Staff member has requested it. Landlord refuses. I'll put one in anyway but just checking if the onus was with the landlord.
Thanks

Daz,
My post points out to readers your subjectivity, using sarcasm.
You make jest of your objectivity and bias towards commercial property however I feel it is important to understand your posts in context.
That is the value of my post, judge them as you will.

Well something has changed. Switches will now be installed in all units.
