For most electrical workers, completing Low Voltage Rescue (LVR) and CPR training each year is simply part of the job. It’s another qualification to renew, another date to put in the diary.

The skills you learn during LVR & CPR training are designed for the one moment you hope never comes. When a colleague receives an electric shock, every second counts. Knowing exactly what to do, how to do it safely and having the confidence to act can mean the difference between life and death.

That’s why annual LVR & CPR training isn’t just about compliance. It’s about making sure every electrical worker goes home safely every day.

Who needs LVR & CPR training?

If you work on or near live low voltage electrical equipment, annual LVR & CPR refresher training is mandatory.

This includes:

• Electricians
• Electrical apprentices
• Electrical contractors
• Maintenance personnel
• Testing and commissioning technicians
• Instrumentation technicians
• Utilities workers
• Anyone required to work on or near live electrical installations or switchboards

The nationally recognised unit UETDRMP018 Perform Rescue from a Live Low Voltage Panel includes CPR training in accordance with Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) guidelines and meets the requirements of the Office of the Technical Regulator in South Australia.

Because these are practical, life-saving skills, certification must be refreshed every 12 months.

Why annual refresher training matters

Like any practical skill, rescue techniques and confidence fade if they’re not practised.

Most electrical emergencies happen without warning and often under pressure. If you’ve never physically performed an LVR rescue or administered CPR since your last course, would you feel confident stepping in?

Annual refresher training helps electrical workers:

• Maintain confidence during emergencies
• Keep up to date with current Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines
• Refresh correct rescue techniques
• Reinforce hazard identification and risk assessment
• Meet workplace and legislative compliance requirements

Most importantly, it helps ensure your response becomes instinctive when every second matters.

More than just another compliance course

At Adelaide Safety Training, we know nobody enjoys sitting through training that feels like ticking a box.

That’s why our trainers focus on making every session practical, interactive and memorable.

Our instructors bring real industry experience from high-risk workplaces and understand the situations electrical workers face every day. Rather than simply reading from a PowerPoint presentation, they explain the “why” behind every procedure and encourage participants to ask questions and share experiences.

It’s one of the reasons our training receives consistently outstanding feedback.

“Luke Robinson was really interactive and had very wide knowledge about the field and his training session was really good.”

Another participant recently said:

“This is one of the best RTOs I’ve encountered in my 15 years in civil engineering in Australia. The assessors are super helpful and go above and beyond to answer your questions. The practical assessment was very good and gives you a good knowledge of how to work in real life situations.”

That’s exactly the type of training we strive to deliver.

Practical training for real workplace situations

Electrical incidents don’t happen in classrooms.

They happen on construction sites, in switch rooms, inside manufacturing facilities and in remote locations where emergency services may still be minutes away.

That’s why our LVR & CPR training places such a strong emphasis on practical scenarios.

Participants learn how to:

• Respond safely to electrical emergencies
• Identify and manage hazards around live electrical equipment
• Perform a rescue from a live low voltage panel
• Use rescue equipment correctly
• Manage unconscious casualties
• Perform adult and child CPR in accordance with ARC guidelines
• Communicate effectively during emergencies
• Follow workplace emergency procedures
• Inspect and maintain rescue equipment

Every participant also completes practical assessment activities, including performing CPR on a manikin and demonstrating a complete low voltage rescue.

By the end of the course, participants leave with more than a certificate. They leave with confidence.
