Low Voltage Rescue (LVR) Course
Our Low Voltage Rescue (LVR) Course – UETDRRF004 Perform Rescue from a Live LV Panel is designed to equip participants with the essential skills and knowledge required to perform a rescue from a live low voltage (LV) electrical panel. This course is crucial for those working in environments where they may be exposed to electrical hazards and need to ensure the safety of themselves and others.
This course is delivered in combination with HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, ensuring participants also fulfill the yearly CPR requirements for related professions.
Low Voltage Rescue (LVR) Course Information
A Low Voltage Rescue (LVR) course is designed to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to safely rescue a person from a low voltage electrical incident. Here are some key aspects typically covered in an LVR course:
- Safety Procedures: Understanding and implementing safety procedures when dealing with low voltage electrical incidents is paramount. This includes assessing the scene for potential hazards and ensuring personal safety before attempting a rescue.
- Risk Assessment: Assessing the risks involved in a low voltage rescue scenario, including identifying potential hazards such as live wires, water, or other conductive materials.
- Equipment Use: Training in the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as insulated gloves, mats, and tools designed for use in electrical rescue situations.
- Rescue Techniques: Learning effective techniques for safely removing a victim from the electrical source without putting oneself or the victim at further risk. This may involve using insulated rescue hooks or other specialized tools.
- First Aid: Basic first aid and CPR skills may also be included, as the victim of a low voltage electrical incident may require immediate medical attention.
- Legal and Regulatory Requirements: Understanding relevant legal and regulatory requirements related to electrical safety and rescue operations.
- Practical Exercises: Engaging in hands-on exercises and simulations to practice rescue techniques in a controlled environment.
The course is typically targeted at individuals who may be first responders, emergency personnel, or workers in industries where exposure to low voltage electrical hazards is possible, such as construction, utilities, and maintenance. It’s essential for participants to regularly update their skills and knowledge to ensure readiness in the event of an emergency.

What Our Customers Say
"We all agreed that this was 1 of the most informative First aid courses that we had done. Germain was very helpful and knowledgeable in her field. We could tell she had a lot of experience."
"Outstanding training! Ben was engaging, fun & informative."
"5 Stars FOR SURE!!!! In my initial phone contact with Ben, I was impressed; I had a good feeling and I knew I had found the right course for me."
"I did my CPR refresher with Ben. The course was great and as an instructor Ben had everyone feel at ease. Being able to go on to get the main theory done at home is a great help when you have limited time available. I'll be back next year when I need to renew my full First Aid."
