The pay rate for A grades vs working the counter at electrical wholesalers is too huge of a gap to attract experience in those places I reckon. |

BTW I am convinced the safety shutters are part of the sockets IP rating requirements to prevent water ingress. Noting the equivalent Clipsal version here https://www.clipsal.com/iconic-outdoor says:

But AS/NZS 3112:2017 Approval and test specification - Plugs and socket-outlets might tell us more. Per https://www.standards.org.au/news/sa...socket-outlets Quote:
Or maybe perhaps better Australian Standards AS60529 (I don't know I admit I am well out of my depth here) noting from https://www.amplex.com.au/blog/ip-ratings-explained : Quote:

With wholesalers it always helps to know your part numbers. If its a known obsolete item, they can usually cross reference suitable parts then you decide whats the best solution. I used to find it funny at one place on a saturday when weekend warriors would come in and bombard the desk with questions, the people at the desk would say nothing and point to the sign which read they are not electricians so cannot give advice.

See attached if you don't know about plumbing bonding straps. I guess more likely a, or a bigger risk, in older properties that perhaps are more likely to have both faulty electrical equipment and broken earth stakes or wires but certainly not a risk unique to them.
In addition to the extremely low perceived risk, the cost to have them periodically checked and certified (or perhaps just as cheaply replaced) and that apprentices (who else would they blame) often bury, mislay or forget to retrieve them is the reasons some plumbers have said to me is why the don't have them or use them. And how many home DIY occasional plumbers even know about them?
