UETDRRF004 Perform Rescue from a Live LV Panel + HLTAID009 Provide CPR LVR and CPR Training

What is LVR & CPR Training?

This combined course equips participants with the skills and knowledge to:

• Safely perform a rescue from a live low-voltage (LV) electrical panel.
• Provide immediate CPR in line with ANZCOR guidelines.

It combines two nationally recognised units:

• UETDRRF004 – Perform Rescue from a Live LV Panel
• HLTAID009 – Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

This training is mandatory for many electrical and utility workers, ensuring compliance with electrical safety regulations and WHS laws.

Who Should Complete This Course?

The course is essential for:

• Electricians (domestic, commercial, industrial).
• Electrical apprentices.
• Utilities and energy workers (power, water, communications).
• HV/LV electrical contractors and maintenance staff.
• Supervisors and WHS officers overseeing electrical work.
• Any worker exposed to live LV panels in their role.

In most states, electrical workers must renew their LVR & CPR annually to maintain licensing and compliance.

Why LVR & CPR Training is Critical

Industry context & compliance:

• Electrical work is one of the highest-risk occupations in Australia, with electrocution listed as a leading cause of workplace fatalities.
• Safe Work Australia mandates that workers exposed to electrical hazards must be trained in rescue and resuscitation techniques.
• Energy providers and contractors require staff to hold a current LVR & CPR certificate, often renewed annually.
• CPR is critical because defibrillation and early chest compressions triple survival rates after electrical shock-induced cardiac arrest.

This training keeps workers safe, compliant, and prepared.

Course Inclusions & Learning Outcomes 

Participants will learn to:

• Conduct a risk assessment of electrical work areas.
• Identify and manage electrical hazards.
• Use safety equipment to perform a live LV panel rescue.
• Apply isolation procedures and workplace documentation.
• Perform CPR on adults in line with ANZCOR guidelines.
• Use an AED (defibrillator) as part of a rescue response.
• Communicate effectively with emergency services (000).

Industry Compliance & Relevance

• Recognised nationally under UET Transmission, Distribution and Rail Sector Training Package.
• Mandatory for electricians and electrical workers in most Australian states/territories.
• Supports compliance with WHS laws and state electrical licensing requirements.
• Required by major utilities, energy contractors, and construction companies.
