Lithium-ion Battery Risks in the Workplace
Lithium-ion batteries are found in Electric Vehicles, Electric Bikes and Scooters, Laptops, tablets, and phones. Lithium-ion battery fires can cause deaths, serious injuries and devastating damage to property – reaching up to 1600° Celsius when on fire.
Damaged or unstable batteries and improper charging, storage or disposal can cause the batteries to overheat, leading to an explosive, aggressive fire that spreads rapidly, can reignite and is challenging to extinguish.
As a business, it’s essential to ensure the safe use of Lithium-Ion Batteries in the workplace for the safety of you employees.
We can help you implement practices to guarantee a safe work environment.

Understanding the Risks of Lithium-Ion Battery Fires
In recent years, the widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries has revolutionised industries ranging from consumer electronics to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. These powerful and lightweight energy storage solutions have become the backbone of modern technology, powering our devices and vehicles with unprecedented efficiency. However, with their increasing prevalence comes a pressing need to understand the risks associated with lithium-ion batteries, particularly the threat of fires. Composition and Operation Lithium-ion batteries are complex electrochemical devices comprised of several key components. These include a positive electrode (cathode), a negative electrode (anode), and an electrolyte solution. The electrodes are typically made
5 Top Tips to Prevent Thermal Runaway
What is Thermal Runaway? Thermal runaway begins when the heat generated within a battery exceeds the amount of heat that is dissipated to its surroundings. If the cause of excessive heat creation is not remedied, the condition will worsen. Internal battery temperature will continue to rise – causing battery current to rise – creating a domino effect. The rise in temperature in a single battery will begin to affect other batteries in proximity, and the pattern will continue, thus the term “runaway.” The self-generating heat stage (50°C-140°C) The thermal runaway stage (140°C-850°C) Signs of thermal runaway A Li-ion battery cell
New Battery Regulations – Effective February 2024
The new European Battery Regulations, effective from February 18, 2024, aim to enhance battery sustainability and recycling across the EU. Key provisions include stricter waste management, extended producer responsibilities, and new battery categories. The regulations enforce end-of-life requirements, recycling targets, and reporting obligations, applying automatically across EU countries. Collection targets for waste batteries are set to increase, and specific measures for lithium recovery are outlined. The regulations also introduce mandatory recycled content levels and the concept of a ‘battery passport’ for detailed battery information. Stakeholders are encouraged to engage with implementation efforts in Ireland. Fireguard can help your business comply
