I believe all you do is already very good in terms of safety, in particular the use of 30mA RCDs. Just be sure to use good quality products and recommend that the RCDs are regularly tested using the test button.

I don’t know what are the standards and rules for electrical installation in Myanmar: if they are close to IEC, you might take a look at the chapter “protection against electric shocks” included in a WIKI I found recently (it is dedicated to electrical installation guide according to IEC60364 and other related IEC standards). It covers all types of electric shocks and protection measures (direct contact, indirect contact …).

Knowing also that on average 30% of fires in buildings come from electrical problems, it is good to take this kind of measures, plus adequate maintenance … You might also look at the type of cables you are using, as if the fire comes from other sources, the electrical cables when burning can have very bad consequences, such has helping the fire to expand, a lot of smoke which can kill people and make firemen work almost impossible, destruction of goods (electronics in particular) due to corrosiveness …
