Rather than putting a switch just in the hot side of the power cord, you can use a DPDT switch and switch both sides of the cord. That way even if the polarity of the outlet is not correct you won't accidentally have a "hot" neutral wire.......

In my opinion I would say that putting the switch prior to the safety caps is a good idea.
