Course Introduction
This course equips participants with the knowledge and practical skills required to perform a rescue from a live low-voltage (LV) electrical situation and provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). It is designed in alignment with national training standards and electrical safety regulations to ensure workplace readiness in emergency response.
Course Objectives
Participants will learn to:
- Identify low voltage electrical hazards and risks
- Safely perform a rescue from live electrical panels and equipment
- Administer CPR according to ARC (Australian Resuscitation Council) guidelines
- Understand the legal obligations of first responders in electrical emergencies
Key Benefits of Attending
- Required annually for electricians, safety observers, and electrical workers
- Combines two critical life-saving qualifications: LVR + CPR
- Boosts workplace compliance and emergency preparedness
Intended Audience
- Electricians and electrical apprentices
- Safety observers and designated first responders
- Technicians working in LV environments
- Construction, mining, utilities, and industrial staff
Individual Benefits
- Meet mandatory competency requirements under WHS regulations
- Gain confidence in life-saving response in electrical emergencies
- Receive two nationally recognized qualifications in one course
Organization Benefits
- Ensure compliance with electrical safety regulations and codes
- Reduce risk of fatalities and injuries at electrical work sites
- Maintain a trained emergency response team for LV incidents
Instructional Methdology
- Interactive theory sessions with visual demonstrations
- Hands-on CPR training using manikins and defibrillator simulations
- Practical LVR rescue scenarios using electrical switchboards
- Final knowledge test and competency-based practical assessment
