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.
