This is the most popular way and I know it's UL approved to do it that way and how I always do it in my projects. But some claim this is not the safest way.
Another idea is to run the HOT to the switch first, then to the fuse holder. The reason is that the fuse holder is totally dead with the power switch off (assuming a properly polarized cord and outlet). Even a back wired fuse can be dangerous if the fuse is good and separates from the cap while still in the holder. As for the power switch failing to ground, most approved power switches are designed not to do this and furthermore have substantial metal that should take out the building circuit breaker if they do fail to ground internally.
Food for thought!
