Description

This course provides participants with the training skills and knowledge to perform rescue procedures from live low voltage (LV) apparatus, not including overhead lines and underground cables, in the work place. It specifies the mandatory requirements of rescue from a live LV panel and how they apply in the context of transmission, distribution and rail work functions. It encompasses responsibilities for health, safety and risk management processes at all operative levels and the adherence to safety practices as part of the normal way of doing work.

Purpose

The purpose of this course is to provide participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform rescue procedures from live low Voltage (LV) apparatus, not including overhead lines and underground cables in the work place, and to perform CPR in line with the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) Guidelines. It specifies the mandatory requirements of rescue from a live LV panel and how they apply in the context of transmission, distribution or rail work functions.

Low Voltage Rescue

Low Voltage Rescue (LVR) training is a specialised program designed to help equip individuals with the training experience and skills to perform a safe rescue if someone becomes electrically involved with live low voltage circuits, typically under 1000 volts. Electrical incidents, especially in workplaces involving high-risk equipment, present a serious hazard not only to the affected person but to the would-be rescuer as well. LVR training minimises these risks by providing comprehensive knowledge and hands-on practice in safely assisting those in contact with electrical sources.

Given the prevalence of electrical equipment in various industries, the need for LVR training is significant. Construction sites, electrical maintenance environments, and facilities management all benefit from having trained personnel who are equipped to respond swiftly and effectively in the event of an electrical incident. By providing employees with the in-depth knowledge and skills to respond safely, organisations create a safer work environment, reducing the potential for severe injuries or fatalities associated with electrical hazards.

Core Components of Low Voltage Rescue Training

A foundational component of LVR training involves learning about the types of low-voltage electrical risks and how to recognise them. This module typically covers the dangers associated with specific voltage ranges, common sources of electrical hazards in various workplaces, and the warning signs of electrical entanglement. Understanding these risks is essential for recognising when and how to intervene effectively.

Practical Application and Hands-On Training

A distinctive feature of LVR training is the emphasis on practical, hands-on exercises. Trainees participate in simulated rescue scenarios that allow them to apply the knowledge and techniques they’ve learned in a controlled environment. These scenarios are designed to mimic real-world situations as closely as possible, giving participants the experience they need to perform rescues safely and effectively.

Hands-on training helps solidify proper techniques and equipment handling, reinforcing physical skills that are critical for an effective rescue. It also builds muscle memory, enabling trainees to react instinctively and correctly even in high-pressure situations. This practice ensures that individuals leave LVR training with both the confidence and practical training needed for real-world rescues.

Certification and Industry Standards

LVR training typically concludes with certification, an acknowledgment that the individual has completed the course and demonstrated the necessary skills to perform a low-voltage rescue. Certification is a mandatory requirement by many employers, particularly in industries where employees regularly work with or near live electrical circuits. To maintain compliance with industry standards, individuals are often required to renew their LVR certification annually, ensuring their skills remain sharp and in line with current safety protocols.

Certifications obtained through LVR training align with regulatory standards that promote a culture of safety and preparedness within workplaces. This alignment not only assures regulatory compliance but also serves as a mark of quality, signalling that an individual or organisation is committed to maintaining high safety standards in electrical environments.
