LVR Training Courses Traralgon

What is LVR training?

Low Voltage Rescue training prepares you to respond when a worker receives an electric shock near a live low-voltage panel. You’ll learn how to assess the hazard, reduce risk where possible, and extract a casualty using insulated rescue equipment. LVR is commonly paired with current CPR because once the casualty is clear of the electrical danger, immediate action under DRSABCD— including CPR and defibrillation—may be required.

Units of competency included

Low Voltage Rescue unit

• UETDRMP018 – Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel (commonly recognised as replacing UETDRRF004 during unit transitions).

CPR unit

• HLTAID009 – Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation, including adult CPR and AED use as part of the DRSABCD action plan.

If you’re successful, you’ll receive a Statement of Attainment issued by Allens Training Pty Ltd (RTO 90909).

Who is LVR training in Traralgon for?

This training suits people who work on or near live low-voltage electrical apparatus, including:

• Licensed electricians and electrical workers
• Apprentices and supervised electrical personnel
• Maintenance, facilities and contracting teams
• ESI-related roles (distribution, transmission, rail and related work)
• Spotters responsible for observing live work and carrying out an emergency rescue if required

Across Traralgon and the Latrobe Valley, many employers expect both LVR and CPR to be current before workers are cleared for live-work environments.

Prerequisites and what you’ll need

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

• A current unrestricted electrical licence, or
• An electrotechnology / ESI qualification, or
• Relevant 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 (details below)

What’s in a Low Voltage Rescue Kit?

Kits vary by workplace, but commonly include:

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

Training covers when to use the kit and how to handle it safely.

Duration and delivery

Most combined LVR & CPR options include:

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

Because you must demonstrate competency, LVR training can’t be completed 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 you have a condition or injury that may affect kneeling or compressions, plan ahead before booking.
