UETDRRF004 Perform Rescue from a Live Low Voltage (LV) Panel
UETDRRF004 Perform Rescue from a Live Low Voltage (LV) Panel course provided by First Aid Action equips learners with practical skills and knowledge necessary for safe rescue of a casualty who has sustained injuries while working on low voltage conductors or equipment, in compliance with the ‘Electrical Safety Regulation 2002’ and ‘Queensland Electrical Safety Act 2002’.
This unit has been superseded by the unit: UETDRMP007 Perform rescue from a live low voltage panel.
ASQA (Australian Skills Quality Authority) has extended the transition period until October 2025 for the new LVR unit, UETDRMP007, as they still want to allow for further industry consultation on the proposed changes including the pre-requisite requirement for UETDRMP007.
This means that we will still be training the UETDRRF004 Perform Rescue from a Live LV Panel until they have completed their industry consultation.
