Target audience:
Those who are required to provide an emergency first aid response in a workplace. Those who work around live elctrical panels and motors.
Prerequisites:
Must have completed the perform rescue from a live LV panel and CPR course within the last 12 months.
Award issued:
Students who successfully complete this nationally recognised training will be awarded the statement of attainment for:
- UETTDRRF06B Perform rescue from a live LV panel
- HLTAID001 Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Are there physical requirements for this course ?
It is important to note that there are physical standards which relate to the level of performance required when undertaking accredited training. The HLTAID competency standards require a level of physical ability to provide resuscitation and respond to an emergency situation where there may be risk to life. One requirement of the training package is that you are to be assessed as physically capable of performing uninterrupted CPR for at least 2 minutes on an adult CPR manikin placed on the floor. There can be no exceptions to these Australian Government requirements that are clearly written into the Training Package. Therefore, students who are unable to satisfy the physical requirements of the course cannot be deemed competent or issued with a statement of attainment, even if the qualification is a necessary part of their employment conditions.
ASSESSMENT – THEORY
You will be assessed on questions based on the course knowledge requirements, such as:
State/Territory regulations, first aid codes of practice and workplace procedures:
ARC Guidelines relevant to the provision of CPR
Safe work practices to minimise risks and potential hazards
Infection control principles and procedures, including use of standard precautions
Requirements for currency of skill and knowledge
Legal, workplace and community considerations:
Awareness of potential need for stress-management techniques and available support following an emergency situation
Duty of care requirements and respectful behaviour towards a casualty
Own skill, limitations, consent, privacy and confidentiality requirements
Importance of debriefing
Considerations when providing CPR:
Airway obstruction due to body position
Appropriate duration and cessation of CPR
Appropriate use of an AED including chain of survival
Standard precautions
Basic anatomy and physiology:
Considerations in provision of first aid for specified conditions
Chest
How to recognise a person is not breathing normally
Response/consciousness
Upper airway and effect of positional change
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
Knowledge of Safe Approach Distances (SAD s) appropriate to rescue from a live LV panel
Involvement of external emergency services
Emergency procedures for the skills 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 Safe Approach Distances (SAD s) appropriate to rescue from a live LV panel
Practical demonstration of rescuing a person
Removing victim to safe location / place of safety
ASSESSMENT – PRACTICAL - Physical demonstrations (skills)
The simulated assessment environments will reflect the real-life working environment where these skills and knowledge would be performed, with all the relevant equipment and resources of that working environment. Skills must be demonstrated by the student working individually in an environment that provides realistic in-depth, industry-validated scenarios and simulations to assess students’ skills and knowledge. It’s important that students have knowledge of the content of this course. The assessable practical skills are listed below.
You will be assessed on responding to first aid scenario and task demonstrations for:
Adult CPR: Performing at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (5 cycles of both compressions and ventilations) on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor; including the demonstration of a rotation of operators with minimal interruptions to compressions
Infant CPR: Responded to a first aid scenario and performed at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer CPR (5 cycles both compressions and ventilations) on an infant resuscitation manikin placed on a firm surface
Defibrillation: Followed the prompts of an automated external defibrillator (AED)
Other:
Manage infection control requirements
Responding appropriately in the event of regurgitation or vomiting
Demonstrating safe manual handling techniques
Managing the unconscious breathing casualty
Providing a verbal report of the incident
Inspection and placement of rescue equipment
LV panel scenario and task demonstrations:
Inspection and placement of rescue equipment
Identification and labelling of the isolation point
Perform a rescue from a LV panel in accordance with workplace procedures
Conduct work observing the relevant anti-discrimination legislation, regulations, policies and workplace procedures
Implement occupational health and safety workplace procedures and practices including the use of risk control measures
Important information regarding course durations:
Course durations, as mentioned above, are reflective of group sizes of between 4 and 15 participants. If there are less students in a group, you may find course duration reduced by a maximum of 10%. If a class size exceeds 15 participants it may therefore also be necessary to increase course duration depending on the number of participants.
Students who successfully complete this nationally recognised training will be awarded the statement of attainment for:
- UETTDRRF06B Perform rescue from a live LV panel
