Reference: slider switches

Reference information:
Note: Some distribution boards are manufactured with ‘slider switches’ to disconnect the circuit from the live side of the circuit breaker. These devices should not be relied upon as the only means of isolation for circuits, as they do not meet the requirements for isolation and the wrong switch could easily be operated on completion of the work.
