Supposedly if the plug is polarized (one spade is wider than the other), and the wall socket is wired properly, then the switch will be on the hot side, which is what you want. But I wouldn't bet my life on it, I have seen sockets wired backwards more than once. If you really want to be sure purchase a socket tester, they will tell you if they are wired backwards by which lights light up when you plug them in.
