LVR Training Courses Swan Hill

What is LVR training?

Low Voltage Rescue training teaches you how to recognise electrical hazards and safely extract a casualty from a live low-voltage panel using insulated rescue equipment. LVR is commonly paired with current CPR because electric shock incidents can lead to cardiac arrest. Once the casualty is clear of danger, you must follow DRSABCD, provide CPR, and use an AED where required.

Units of competency included

Low Voltage Rescue unit

• UETDRMP018 – Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel (widely adopted as the replacement for UETDRRF004).

CPR unit

• HLTAID009 – Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation, including adult CPR technique and defibrillation within the DRSABCD action plan.

Successful participants receive a Statement of Attainment issued by Allens Training Pty Ltd (RTO 90909).

Who is LVR training in Swan Hill designed for?

This training suits roles that work on or around live low-voltage equipment, including:

• Licensed electricians and electrical workers
• Apprentices and supervised electrical personnel
• Maintenance crews, contractors and facilities teams
• ESI-related roles (distribution, transmission, rail and associated work)
• Spotters required to monitor live work and perform an emergency rescue if needed

Across Swan Hill and the wider Mallee/Murray region, many employers expect LVR and CPR to be current before workers are cleared to operate near live panels.

Prerequisites and what you’ll need

Because LVR is an electrical rescue unit, you may be required to show evidence of relevant electrical background. Common examples include:

• A current unrestricted electrical licence, or
• An electrotechnology / ESI qualification, or
• Relevant electrical safety/WHS units (often referenced examples include UEECD0007 or UETDREL006)

You’ll also need:

• A Unique Student Identifier (USI) for nationally recognised certification
• Photo ID
• The ability to complete practical rescue and CPR tasks (see assessment requirements below)

Pick the right LVR course option in Swan Hill

LVR & CPR

• LVR CPR Training Units: HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation + UETDRMP018 perform rescue
• Best for: most site access requirements across construction, rail and ESI
• Delivery mode: face to face (some classes include an online component/online pre-course learning)
• Assessment: LVR scenarios plus at least two minutes of single-rescuer adult CPR (five cycles of 30:2)
• Card requirement: you’ll learn to perform CPR and use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)

LVR Only

• Units: UETDRMP018 Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel
• Best for: workers already current in CPR/First Aid who need an annual LVR refresh
• Delivery mode: face to face practical with short theory
• Assessment: rescue scenarios and a brief theory assessment
• On successful completion, you’ll receive a Statement of Attainment

First Aid & LVR

• LVR First Aid Courses Units: HLTAID011 Provide First Aid (includes CPR) + UETDRMP018 perform rescue
• Best for: new starters or teams wanting full cover in one training course
• Delivery mode: face to face with optional online learning or online training (where offered)
• Outcome: first aid certificate plus LVR unit on successful completion

Skills you’ll practise in LVR and CPR

Low Voltage Rescue procedure

Training includes the practical workplace response sequence, such as:

• Confirming hazards and scene safety
• Isolating power where safe and possible
• Using insulated rescue equipment to pull the casualty clear
• Moving to a safe area for first response

CPR, AED and DRSABCD response

You’ll demonstrate:

• DRSABCD decision-making
• Adult CPR compressions and breaths
• AED set-up and safe use
• Clear communication and teamwork during an electrical emergency scenario

What’s in a Low Voltage Rescue Kit?

While kits vary by employer, they typically include:

• An insulated rescue hook/crook
• Insulated gloves
• A fire-resistant blanket
• A CPR mask/face shield

You’ll be shown safe handling and best-practice use during the rescue simulation.

Duration and delivery mode

Most combined LVR & CPR options include:

• A self-paced online theory component (often around 1.5–3 hours), and
• A face-to-face practical session (commonly around 3.5–4.5 hours)

Because competency must be demonstrated, you can’t complete LVR entirely online.

Practical assessment requirements

To be deemed competent, you’ll need to complete:

• A simulated rescue from a low-voltage panel, and
• Two minutes of uninterrupted single-rescuer CPR (five cycles of 30 compressions to 2 breaths) on an adult manikin positioned on the floor

If kneeling, compressions, or mobility are concerns, it’s best to plan ahead before booking.
