If you’re working on or around live electrical equipment, this is one ticket you don’t let slide. The UETDRMP018 Low Voltage Rescue course covers how to safely perform a rescue from a live LV panel and deliver CPR in line with current guidelines, while keeping you up to date with annual renewal expectations across the industry.

UETDRMP018 replaces the superseded unit UETDRRF004 (effective 1 October 2025), so if you’re searching under the old code or your certification is due, this is the updated course you need.

What You'll Learn

Every year, electrical incidents happen when something as simple as a loose connection or a moment’s distraction turns into a life-threatening situation. Having the right rescue and CPR training doesn’t just tick a compliance box — it makes sure you and your workmates have the best chance of going home safely at the end of the day.

This course is hands on and scenario based, designed to reflect real situations you might face on site. You’ll learn how to act quickly, safely and with confidence when it matters most.

LVR kit inspection and use – understand how to check, maintain and correctly use rescue equipment so it’s ready when you need it
Scene risk assessment and isolation – identify hazards, isolate power sources and make the area safe before attempting a rescue
Performing a rescue from a live LV panel – safely remove a casualty from a live low voltage panel, LV switchboard or live LV apparatus using correct techniques
CPR in line with ARC guidelines – deliver cardiopulmonary resuscitation according to Australian Resuscitation Council recommendations, including compression techniques and use of AEDs
First aid for electrical burns – respond to common electrical injuries and stabilise a casualty until help arrives
Use of a fire blanket – control small electrical fires and reduce risk during an incident

You won’t just run through theory. You’ll practise these skills in realistic scenarios so that if something does go wrong, your response feels automatic rather than uncertain.

Who is this course for?

This course is designed for people working in environments where live electrical equipment is part of the job.

Electricians and licensed electrical tradespeople – if you’re regularly working on or near live LV panels, this training supports both compliance and real-world safety
ESI workers – including those in transmission, distribution or rail environments who need current LVR certification to access sites and perform duties
Trade assistants and site workers – particularly those working alongside electricians or in proximity to live LV apparatus
Workers required to hold current LVR certification – many employers, network operators and regulators require up to date LVR and CPR as a condition of site access
Anyone renewing UETDRRF004 – if your previous certification is under the superseded unit, this course ensures you stay current under UETDRMP018

It’s important to note that this course covers rescue from a live low voltage panel only. It does not include rescue from overhead lines or underground cables.

Course Overview

Course details

Co-requisite: HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation must be completed before or alongside the LVR practical component.

Delivery

Face-to-face training with practical, scenario-based assessment.

Duration

Typically completed in a short, focused session designed to minimise time off the tools.

Credential

Statement of Attainment issued on successful completion.

Renewal

Industry expectation is annual renewal to maintain currency, aligned with guidance from the Australian Resuscitation Council.

Physical requirements

Participants must be able to perform CPR on the floor and complete practical rescue tasks.

Entry requirements

No formal prerequisites, but the course is intended for those working in electrical environments.

Scope limitation

Covers rescue from live LV panels and switchboards only, not overhead or underground electrical systems.

This training sits within the broader framework of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011, supporting your obligation to manage electrical risk and respond effectively in an emergency.

Because skills fade over time, regular refreshers help you keep up with any procedural or regulatory changes and maintain confidence in a high-risk environment. Many employers won’t accept older certificates, so completing the course yearly makes sure you remain site-ready.

UETDRMP018 is the updated unit that replaces UETDRRF004 as of 1 October 2025. The core skills remain similar, but the new unit reflects current industry standards and requirements. If you previously completed UETDRRF004, you’ll need to renew under UETDRMP018 to stay compliant.

There isn’t a single rule that applies to every worker, but many electricians, ESI workers and site personnel are required by employers, network operators or regulators to hold current LVR certification. It’s typically a condition of working on or near live LV equipment.

LVR certification is generally expected to be renewed annually. This aligns with industry practice and guidance from the Australian Resuscitation Council to ensure CPR skills remain current.

No. Because this course involves practical rescue and CPR skills, it must be completed face to face with hands-on assessment.

CPR (HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is a co-requisite. It must be completed before or alongside the LVR component. Many participants choose to complete both together to keep their certification aligned.
