Low Voltage Rescue (LVR) & CPR Training

Participants receive practical training in rescue procedures involving live low-voltage (LV) apparatus. Sydney Safety issues only the current unit of competency, UETDRMP007, which replaces the superseded unit UETDRRF004.

Please note: Your CPR accreditation must align with LV Rescue accreditation date; otherwise, the LV Rescue Cert is no longer current once the CPR date passes. For this reason, all participants complete the CPR training component first, commencing at 7:30 am.

FAQs

What is Low Voltage Rescue (LVR) training?

Low Voltage Rescue (LVR) training provides participants with the skills and knowledge required to perform a rescue from live low-voltage electrical apparatus safely. The course covers essential rescue techniques, risk assessment, use of safety equipment, and emergency response procedures. LVR is a mandatory competency for electricians, apprentices, and anyone working on or near energised electrical installations in NSW.

How often do I need to renew my LVR & CPR certification?

Industry and regulatory expectations require LVR and CPR to be refreshed every 12 months. This ensures electrical workers maintain current rescue skills, understand updated procedures, and remain compliant. Many NSW (and nationwide) employers and contractors will not permit work on live systems without proof of current annual LVR and CPR accreditation.

Why must my CPR be current for my LVR qualification to remain valid?

LVR and CPR validity go hand-in-hand; you can’t have one without the other. This is because CPR is a core component of the rescue process; if CPR has expired, the worker is no longer deemed competent to perform a safe low-voltage rescue. For this reason, Sydney Safety Training ensures CPR is completed first, and both qualifications align on the same accreditation date.

What unit of competency does Sydney Safety issue?

Sydney Safety issues the current nationally recognised unit of competency UETDRMP007 – Perform rescue from a live LV panel. This unit replaces the superseded UETDRRF004. All participants are trained and assessed to the latest industry and regulatory standards.

How long does the LVR & CPR course take?

The combined LVR & CPR training typically runs as a short day course, beginning with the CPR component at 7:30am and finishing by 3pm.

What do I need to bring to the training?

Participants should wear standard work attire and comfortable, appropriate footwear, and valid photo ID (driver’s licence, passport, official proof of age card).

Is the course nationally recognised?

Yes. Sydney Safety delivers LVR and CPR training under a Registered Training Organisation, and the UETDRMP007, UETDRMP007 and HLTAID009 (CPR) units issued are nationally recognised throughout Australia. Successful participants receive statements of attainment that meet industry, contractor, and regulatory compliance requirements.

Where is the training delivered?

Training is delivered at the Sydney Safety purpose-built training facility in Villawood, Sydney, NSW. The centre is equipped with dedicated electrical training panels, CPR practice stations, and practical rescue equipment, ensuring participants receive realistic, hands-on experience. However, we can also conduct off-site training at your workplace provided the cost of a group booking is $2,000.

Does Sydney Safety offer group bookings or on-site training?

Yes. Sydney Safety provides group training sessions at our Sydney facility and can deliver on-site LVR and CPR training for workplaces across Sydney and surrounding NSW regions. On-site training is ideal for electrical contractors, facility teams, and businesses wanting consistent, workplace-specific competency for their staff.
