CPR & Low Voltage Rescue Certificate Check

Low voltage rescue (LVR) training teaches a worker how to free someone safely from a live low voltage panel or conductor and then start CPR. It is usually done as a pair of units: UETDRRF004 (perform rescue from a live LV panel) and HLTAID009 (provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Electricians, electrical apprentices and anyone working on or near live low voltage are commonly required to hold both, and most employers and sites expect them to be refreshed every 12 months.

The common gap is a certificate that shows only one of the two units, or a CPR refresher done on its own while the rescue unit has lapsed. A full First Aid & CPR certificate covers CPR but not the rescue unit, so it doesn't replace LVR for electrical work.

How to check a worker's CPR and LVR

1. Ask for the Statement of Attainment, or both Statements if the units were issued separately.
2. Look for both unit codes: UETDRRF004 for the rescue and HLTAID009 for CPR.
3. Check the date of issue. If it is more than 12 months old, ask for a refresher before the worker goes near live equipment.
4. Keep a copy with the worker's file alongside their electrical licence.

With RefChecks the worker uploads their certificate through a secure link. We confirm whether both units are present, record the RTO and date of issue, and flag it clearly if one of the two is missing. Order it from Background Checks, on any plan.
