Low Voltage Rescue & CPR

Electrical emergencies give you seconds to act — and the wrong move can make you the second casualty. LVR teaches you how to rescue someone from a live LV source safely, and how to keep them alive until help arrives.

Step by step

What to do in an emergency — the exact sequence

!
Do NOT touch
The casualty may still be live. Contact = second casualty. Stop and think.
1
Isolate source
Switch off, lock out, tag out. Verify isolation before approaching.
2
Assess scene
Confirm isolation. Check for secondary hazards — fire, arc flash, structural.
3
Rescue
Use insulated equipment. Remove casualty from source without skin contact.
4
Primary survey
Check response, airway and breathing. Start CPR if required.
5
Call services
All electrocution casualties need hospital — even if they appear fine.
6
Monitor & report
Internal burns may not show. Document everything for medical handover.
Learning outcomes

What you will be able to do

Identify LV hazards
Recognise low-voltage sources, switchboards and high-risk situations before entering.
Isolate safely
Apply lock out / tag out and verify isolation before approaching a casualty.
Rescue without contact
Use insulated equipment to separate a casualty from a live LV source.
CPR for electrocution
Perform CPR with the modified considerations specific to electrocution casualties.
Manage electrical burns
Assess entry and exit burns and understand why hospital assessment is always required.
Report & debrief
Complete incident documentation and brief medical responders accurately.
Course content

What the course covers

How electricity injures the body
Current path, ventricular fibrillation, internal burns and why 240V kills.
LV hazard identification
Switchboards, panels, portable tools, extension leads and temporary supplies.
Isolation procedures
Lock out / tag out, isolation verification and safe approach zones.
Rescue techniques
Insulated rescue hooks, body drag, non-contact separation from live sources.
Modified CPR for electrocution
Cardiac rhythm changes, internal burn effects and sustained CPR requirements.
Arc flash awareness
Energy levels, PPE requirements and safe distances in LV environments.
Post-incident management
Why apparently recovered casualties must go to hospital. Documentation and reporting.
Course details

Certification & delivery

UETDRMP018 + HLTAID009 — nationally recognised unitsA certificate is issued on successful completion of practical assessment, in line with the issuing RTO’s training and assessment strategy. Annual renewal is a regulatory and employer requirement in most PNG industries.
Who should attend

Mandatory for electricians, electrical tradespersons, utilities workers and any person who works on or near live LV systems. Required by most PNG employers in energy, construction, mining and infrastructure as a condition of site access.

Delivery & assessment

Full day at our centres or onsite at your switchroom / substation. Onsite delivery lets us use your actual equipment and emergency response plan — strongly recommended for utilities teams.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Why is LVR renewed annually?
Electrical emergencies are rare but critical. Annual training maintains the muscle memory and decision-making speed needed to act correctly in seconds.
Do I need a CPR certificate first?
A current CPR qualification is strongly recommended and required by most PNG employers before LVR. We can run both on the same day for your team.
What is the difference between LVR and high-voltage rescue?
LVR covers systems up to 1000V AC / 1500V DC. High-voltage rescue (above those levels) requires separate, more specialised training.
Can we train at our switchroom?
Yes — and we strongly recommend it. Training in your actual environment with your equipment produces better outcomes than a generic classroom.
What if the casualty looks fine after the shock?
All electrocution casualties must be assessed at hospital regardless of apparent recovery. Internal burns and cardiac rhythm changes can be life-threatening hours later.
