Home toggle switches that you use in the home do not have the capacity to be grounded by a screw terminal. The frame that holds the switch mechanism is automatically brought to ground potential when is is screwed into the switch's junction box . The screw that holds the switch in the box goes through a metal plate that is grounded in the back of the junction box by the circuit's ground wire that is connected to it.
Larger disconnect switches may be grounded by the conduit system that it is connected into or a separate ground wire is taken from the system grounding grid and connected to the switch enclosure. These types of connections involve using a lug and wire that is sized by the electrical code depending on what the size of the switch is in amperage and what the calculated fault current could be.

Why is it important to have a ground wire on a light switch, and what are the potential risks or issues that may arise if a light switch is installed without a ground wire?
Having a ground wire on a light switch is important for safety reasons. The ground wire helps to prevent electrical shocks and fires by providing a path for excess electricity to safely flow into the ground. Without a ground wire, there is a higher risk of electrical malfunctions, shocks, and potential fires if a light switch is installed without one.
How do you wire up a light switch?
To wire up a light switch, you need to turn off the power, remove the old switch, connect the wires to the new switch (usually black to black, white to white, and ground to ground), and then secure the switch in place. Finally, turn the power back on to test the switch.
How do you properly wire a single light switch?
To properly wire a single light switch, you need to turn off the power, remove the old switch, connect the wires to the new switch (usually black to black, white to white, and ground to ground), and then secure the switch in place before turning the power back on.
You have three wires on the new switch but only two on the old?
The new switch is a 3 way switch which requires a common and 2 traveler's. The switch can be identified by no on off marks on toggle part on face of switch. Unless that third wire is a ground wire.
How do you wire a light switch in a home electrical system?
To wire a light switch in a home electrical system, you need to turn off the power, remove the old switch, connect the wires to the new switch (usually black to black, white to white, and ground to ground), and then secure the switch in place before turning the power back on.
If Replacing light switch old one has ground new one does not do you have to use the ground wire?
The ground wire must remain connected to the box. The frame of the switch, and therefore also the screws, must remain connected to the box as well.
