LVR CPR Brisbane Course

My First Aid Course is proud to offer a comprehensive LVR CPR course in Brisbane for those in the electrical industry. The CPR / LVR certificate meets the electrical licence requirements and equips electrical workers who may find themselves in a potentially dangerous situation involving live low voltage panels and electrical emergencies. Our course covers the practical skills needed to perform rescue procedures in emergency situations, as well as risk management processes and safety practices for the prevention of injury.

You may have attended LVR and CPR courses before that were long and drawn out, wasting your valuable time off the tools.

Our LVR CPR Brisbane course is delivered on behalf of registered training organisation Allens Training RTO 90909 and covers a range of situations involving live work, including LV panel rescue procedures, providing basic life support including cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and includes theory and practical skill assessment activities.

Upon completion, participants will receive a nationally recognised statement of attainment for the units:

• UETDRRF004 Perform rescue from a live LV panel
• HLTAID009 Provide Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

(Also known as an LVR and CPR certificate).

Our LVR trainers have years of experience in the electrical industry and understand the importance of proper risk assessment of an electrically hazardous situation. We offer both public courses and onsite group training, which includes the use of our low voltage rescue kit and live LV panel for hands-on training.

For those who have already completed the LVR course, we offer a refresher course to ensure that participants maintain their skills and stay up-to-date with the latest safety practices and guidelines set by the Australian Resuscitation Council.

At My First Aid Course, we are committed to providing the best possible first aid training experience for all first aid courses, which is why we offer free onsite parking and online learning materials to supplement our short course format.

Join us for an LVR CPR training course and become a certified electrical emergency responder, competent in the performance of rescue procedures in an electrical emergency situation.

Please note: All participants will need a unique student identifier (USI) to enrol in this course. A USI number can be obtained for free at usi.gov.au.

This course will give you the skills and knowledge to carry out and complete the LV panel rescue procedures and to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a casualty in a range of situations. It consists of real-life practical skills and knowledge to allow the participant to be assessed as competent in providing CPR in line with Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) Guidelines as well as rescue procedures from a LV apparatus.

Low voltage rescue comprises responsive operations that involve the saving of life, or prevention of injury during an incident or dangerous situation.
