UETDRMP018 Perform rescue from a live LV panel is a nationally recognised unit designed to equip participants with the critical skills required to safely perform a rescue from a low voltage electrical panel. This training is essential for individuals working in the electrical supply industry or any environment where live electrical systems are present, ensuring they can act quickly and effectively in the event of an electrical incident.
Participants will learn the correct use of safety equipment, risk assessment techniques, and safe work practices when performing a live LV rescue.
