Overview

Course Description

The course duration period shown is the allowable timeframe for completion of the Online Theory. It not relevant to the nominal hours of the course or the unit certification period. This unit covers the performance of rescue procedures from live low voltage (LV) apparatus, not including overhead lines and underground cables in the workplace. It specifies the mandatory requirements of rescue from a live LV panel and how they apply in the context of transmission, distribution or rail work functions. It encompasses responsibilities for health, safety and risk management processes at all operative levels and adherence to safety practices as part of the normal way of doing work. The application of the skills and knowledge described in this unit may require a licence/registration to practice in the workplace subject to regulations for undertaking of electrical work. Other conditions may apply under state and territory legislative and regulatory licencing requirements which must be confirmed prior to commencing this unit. Pre-requisite Unit HLTAID009 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation

ELEMENTS: 1 Prepare to perform rescue procedures from live LV panel 2 Carry out rescue from live LV panel 3 Complete the LV panel rescue procedure PERFORMANCE EVIDENCE: Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least two separate occasions and include: applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including the use of risk control measures inspecting and placing rescue equipment identifying and labelling the isolation point performing a rescue from a low voltage (LV) panel in accordance with workplace procedures. KNOWLEDGE EVIDENCE: Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of: emergency procedures for the rescue of a victim from a live LV panel encompassing: inspection of rescue equipment assessing hazards to rescuer, victim and others isolation procedures, where appropriate safe approach distances SAD appropriate to rescue from a live LV panel involvement of external emergency services emergency procedures required for the rescue of a victim from a live LV panel encompassing: placement of rescue equipment controlling hazards to rescuer, victim and others maintaining SAD appropriate to rescue from a live LV panel removing victim to safe location/place of safety. ASSESSMENT CONDITIONS: Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated conditions involving realistic and authentic activities that replicate operational workplace conditions. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Resources for assessment must include access to: a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulations relevant and appropriate materials, tools, facilities, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry for performing rescues from a live LV panel applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, relevant industry standards, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
