Working in the Goldfields means hot sheds, dusty switch rooms and shift work around heavy plant. Low Voltage Rescue (LVR) training prepares you to rescue a person from a live low-voltage panel and provide immediate care until medical help arrives. Because electric shock can trigger cardiac arrest, LVR is commonly paired with CPR so you can act straight after the rescue.
