• Recognise an emergency situation
• Carry out rescue from live LV panel
• Complete LV incident report

This unit of competency is targeted to participants who are telecommunication workers, maintenance workers, construction workers or those in the maritime industry where the worker is required to rescue injured personnel from telecommunication towers, wind turbines or electrical transmission towers.

This unit of competence has been drawn from the nationally endorsed industry training package RII_R1.0 Resources and Infrastructure Industry. On successfully completing the training and assessment, a Statement of Attainment (SoA) for the unit UETTDRRF04B Perform Tower Rescue will be issued.
