First aid for electricians
This combination course is the ideal group of units for electrical workers who will be undertaking the role of a safety observer when working with low voltages. In some states, this course is mandatory before being able to obtain electrical work licensing.
This Unit of Competency covers the performance of rescue procedures from live Low Voltage (LV) apparatus, not including overhead lines and underground cables in the workplace. It specifies the mandatory requirements of rescue from a live LV panel and how they apply in the context of electrical maintenance, transmission, and/or distribution functions. The course encompasses responsibilities for health, safety and risk management processes at all operational levels and adherence to safety practices as part of the normal way of doing work.
This training covers both theory and practical aspects of CPR and LVR Training. There is a short multiple choice quiz at the end of the training covering the course theory learnt that day. Students will also be assessed on practical skills as a requirement to pass the course.
We recommend enrolling into the full face-to-face course if this is the first time undertaking this course. If you undertake this course often, you may wish to enrol into our refresher course.
Prerequisite: HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a pre-requisite for UETTDRRF04 Perform rescue from a live LV panel.
Minimum age: Students must be at least 14 years of age at the time of attendance.
Requirements: Students are required to bring a form of photo ID on the day of their practical course. We suggest that you wear comfortable casual clothing, as the practical nature of the demonstrations and practice may possibly require bending, kneeling and lying on the floor.
The Statement of Attainment will show both UETTDRRF04 Perform Rescue from a Live LV Panel and HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation units of competency.
The individual unit UETTDRRF04 can also be delivered separately. Please contact us for pricing.
UETDRRF004 Perform rescue from a live LV panel has been superseded by UETDRMP007 Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel. ASQA has approved an extended transition period for UETDRRF004 Perform rescue from a live LV panel until the 13th of October 2024. First Aid Training Group will continue to teach UETDRRF004 until the transition end date.
