First Aid for Electricians

This combination course is designed for electrical workers who may act as a safety observer when working with low voltage systems. In some states, completing this course is a mandatory requirement before obtaining an electrical work licence.

The UETDRMP018 Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel unit covers the skills and knowledge required to carry out rescue procedures from live low voltage (LV) apparatus – excluding overhead lines and underground cables – in the workplace. It outlines the mandatory requirements for rescuing a person from a live LV panel and applies to those working in electrical maintenance, transmission, and distribution roles.
The training also incorporates essential health, safety, and risk management practices that support safe work procedures across all operational levels.

This course includes both theory and practical training in CPR and Low Voltage Rescue (LVR). Students complete a short multiple-choice quiz covering course theory and are also assessed on their practical skills to meet the competency requirements.

We recommend enrolling in the full face-to-face course if this is your first time completing this training. For those who regularly renew their qualification, a refresher/blended course is also available.

On successful completion, students will receive a Statement of Attainment for:

• UETDRMP018 Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel

• HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation

The UETDRMP018 unit can also be delivered separately if you hold a current HLTAID009 certificate – please contact us for pricing and availability.

Note:
The previous unit UETTDRRF04 Perform rescue from a live LV panel has been superseded by UETDRMP018 Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel.
ASQA has approved a transition period for UETTDRRF04 until 13 October 2025.
First Aid Training Group will continue to deliver UETTDRRF04 until this date, after which all certificates will be issued under the new unit UETDRMP018.
