What is LVR and CPR training?
UETDRMP018 Perform Rescue from a Live Low Voltage Panel, commonly known as Low Voltage Rescue (LVR), is a nationally recognised unit of competency. It provides the skills and knowledge required to safely perform a rescue involving a person who has come into contact with live low voltage electrical equipment.
You’ll learn how to identify hazards, assess risks, prepare your work area in accordance with relevant workplace procedures and legislation, and perform a simulated rescue. This includes identifying the electrical isolation point, inspecting and using appropriate low voltage rescue equipment, safely removing the casualty from the live electrical panel, and assessing the casualty before providing appropriate first aid and activating further emergency assistance where required.
We deliver LVR as a package with HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, the prerequisite unit for UETDRMP018. You complete HLTAID009 first, then move on to the LVR rescue, so your crew can get both units done together.
UETDRMP018 is delivered and certified by Safety Corp Pty Ltd (RTO Code: 91694). International Paramedic College delivers the practical training and assessment sessions on their behalf, on site at your workplace or in Ballina, Lismore and Byron Bay.
Upon successful completion of UETDRMP018, your Statement of Attainment for that unit will be issued by Safety Corp Pty Ltd (RTO Code: 91694).
- Current nationally recognised low voltage rescue unit
- Online pre-course learning for both units before your practical session
- Hands-on rescue practice with LV rescue equipment
- HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, the prerequisite unit, included in the package
Looking for the previous unit code?
UETDRMP018 supersedes and is equivalent to UETDRMP007 Perform Rescue from a Live Low Voltage Panel, and is the most current unit covering Low Voltage Rescue.

Entry requirements
- HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is included in this package, so you don’t need to hold it before you book. It is the formal prerequisite for UETDRMP018 Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel, so you complete it first, before the LVR component.
- Applying this unit at work may require an electrical licence or registration, and state or territory licensing conditions may apply. Confirm these before you enrol.
- Basic English language, literacy and numeracy skills to complete the online learning and knowledge questions.
- Basic computer skills and internet access for the pre-course learning.
- Photo ID to present at the practical session, and a valid USI (Unique Student Identifier).
- The physical ability to perform the rescue, move a casualty to safety and perform at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted CPR on a manikin at floor level.
What you’ll learn in this LVR and CPR training
HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
You’ll start with CPR, following current Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines. You’ll learn how to:
- Recognise and respond to cardiac arrest
- Perform CPR on adults and infants
- Use an AED (defibrillator) safely and correctly
- Manage an unconscious casualty, including positioning and airway management
- Communicate clearly with emergency services and hand over the casualty
UETDRMP018 Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel
The LVR component follows the three stages of the unit: preparing for the rescue, carrying it out and completing it. You’ll learn how to:
- Confirm the workplace requirements for a rescue and identify the hazards and risk controls
- Identify the electricity isolation point
- Obtain and inspect rescue equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Keep a safe approach distance and protect yourself, the casualty and bystanders
- Assess the situation and activate the rescue response, including calling emergency services
- Release the casualty from contact with the live LV panel and move them to a safe location
- Assess the casualty and start CPR if they aren’t breathing normally
- Secure the incident site and control entry
- Report the incident following workplace requirements
Throughout, you’ll work to workplace procedures, WHS legislation, codes of practice and the industry standards that apply to LV rescue.
Course units
This package has two units. You’ll complete HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation first, as it’s the prerequisite, then UETDRMP018 Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel. Both units combine online pre-course learning with a face-to-face practical session. UETDRMP018 is delivered and certified by Safety Corp Pty Ltd (RTO Code: 91694).
UETDRMP018 Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel
What is this unit?
UETDRMP018 Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel covers rescue procedures from live low voltage apparatus. It does not cover overhead lines or underground cables. It is delivered and certified by Safety Corp Pty Ltd (RTO Code: 91694).
Why it matters
Electric shock from a live panel can stop a person’s heart, and a rescuer who rushes in can become a second casualty. A safe, practised rescue protects everyone.
What you’ll learn
You’ll learn to assess hazards, identify the isolation point, inspect rescue equipment and PPE, release a casualty from live apparatus, assess them, secure the site and report the incident.
How you’ll be assessed
You’ll answer online knowledge questions, then demonstrate a simulated rescue from a live LV panel at a face-to-face practical session.
Practical benefit
Once you’re competent, you’ll be able to perform a low voltage rescue and meet the LVR requirements many employers and sites set.
HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation
What is this unit?
HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation covers the skills and knowledge to recognise and respond to an unconscious casualty and perform CPR, including using an AED, to Australian Resuscitation Council guidelines. It is the prerequisite unit for UETDRMP018, so you complete it first in this package.
Why it matters
Contact with a live panel can stop a person’s heart. Once the casualty is clear of the electrical source, prompt CPR and early defibrillation give them the best chance.
What you’ll learn
You’ll learn to recognise cardiac arrest, perform CPR on adults and infants, use an AED safely, manage an unconscious casualty and hand over to emergency services.
How you’ll be assessed
You’ll answer online knowledge questions, then demonstrate 2 minutes of uninterrupted adult CPR on a manikin on the floor, 2 minutes of infant CPR, safe use of an AED and management of an unconscious casualty at a face-to-face practical session.
Practical benefit
Once you’re competent, you’ll hold the CPR unit that UETDRMP018 requires. The Australian Resuscitation Council recommends refreshing CPR every 12 months.
Delivery & assessment
Delivery format
- Online pre-course learning: about 4 to 5 hours for HLTAID009 and 1 to 2 hours for UETDRMP018, completed before your session
- Face-to-face practical session: hands-on CPR and rescue practice and assessment with a trainer, with HLTAID009 completed first
- On-site training at your workplace, or sessions in Ballina, Lismore and Byron Bay
Assessment method
For HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, you’ll answer online knowledge questions and demonstrate:
- 2 minutes of uninterrupted adult CPR on a manikin on the floor
- 2 minutes of uninterrupted infant CPR on a firm surface
- Safe and effective use of an AED (defibrillator)
- Management of an unconscious casualty
For UETDRMP018 Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel, you’ll be assessed through online knowledge questions and a simulated rescue from a live LV panel, set up to reflect real work conditions, where you’ll show you can:
- Identify rescue requirements, hazards and risk controls
- Locate the isolation point
- Collect and inspect rescue equipment and put on rescue PPE
- Perform the rescue and remove the casualty following workplace requirements
- Assess the casualty, secure the site and report the incident
All assessment tasks must be completed successfully to be deemed competent. Read our student information and policies before you book.

FAQs
Have questions about LVR and CPR training? Below you’ll find answers about the HLTAID009 prerequisite, refreshers, certification and the UETDRMP018 Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel unit.
What is LVR training?
LVR, or low voltage rescue, training teaches you how to safely rescue a person in contact with live low voltage electrical equipment and get them to safety for care. The current nationally recognised unit is UETDRMP018 Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel. We deliver it as a package with HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
Do I need HLTAID009 before LVR training?
HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is the formal prerequisite for UETDRMP018, but you don’t need to hold it before you book. It’s included in this package, and you complete it first, before the LVR component.
How often do I need to renew my LVR certificate?
The UETDRMP018 unit doesn’t carry an expiry date, but many employers, principal contractors and sites expect an LVR refresher every 12 months. Check your employer or site requirements, and keep your HLTAID009 CPR current as well.
Who issues my LVR certificate?
UETDRMP018 Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel is delivered and certified by Safety Corp Pty Ltd (RTO Code: 91694), which issues your Statement of Attainment for this unit, not International Paramedic College. Your HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Statement of Attainment is issued by the delivering RTO.
Has UETDRMP018 replaced UETDRRF004?
Yes, indirectly. UETDRRF004 Perform rescue from a live LV panel was superseded by UETDRMP007, which was not listed as equivalent, and UETDRMP018 has since replaced UETDRMP007. If your LVR refresher is due, UETDRMP018 is the current unit. Check with your employer whether they still accept an older UETDRRF004 Statement of Attainment.
