Low Voltage Rescue Kit (LVR Kit)

This Low Voltage Rescue Kit (LVR kit) holds the equipment needed to safely rescue a person in contact with a live low-voltage source, and is designed for workers in the electrical industry. It is suitable for use up to 1000V. Every item in it exists to solve one problem: getting a casualty free without the rescuer becoming the second casualty.

Why choose this Low Voltage Rescue Kit

The kit is organised around the rescue sequence rather than being a general first aid box. The Low Voltage Rescue Hook allows a casualty to be moved clear of a live conductor without direct contact; the 1000V insulating gloves protect the rescuer if contact is unavoidable; the "Isolate Here" sign stops the supply being re-energised while the rescue is under way. Instinct says grab the person - and in an electrical incident that instinct kills rescuers.

Only after that does it address the injury. A burn dressing covers electrical and arc-flash burns, and the fire blanket handles ignited clothing or a small fire at the point of contact - both realistic consequences of an electrical incident, and both things a standard first aid kit is poorly set up for.

Two small items matter more than they look. The Test Due Label exists because insulating gloves are only rated while they remain in test - untested gloves are not protection, they are a false sense of one - so the kit carries its own reminder of when it must be re-certified. The torch is there because isolation frequently means you have just switched off the lights.

Common uses

Electrical contractors, switchboard and distribution work, construction sites, mining and industrial maintenance, and any site where workers perform live low-voltage work or work near it - many of which mandate an LVR kit and current LVR training on site. The rescue hook is the item most often replaced or duplicated across vehicles: the Low Voltage Rescue Hook is available separately, and a spare 1.2 x 1.8m fire blanket is worth having at the board itself.
