Lithium-ion battery safety training
Lithium-ion battery safety training is useful for everyone because these batteries are central to all our lives, powering everything from children’s toys to electric vehicles.
However, training is especially important for employees who use lithium-powered devices at work. At work there may be laptops, smartphones, tools, and electric vehicles in close proximity which poses a heightened fire risk.
Our lithium-ion battery safety training raises awareness of the safety hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries, how to reduce the risk of thermal runaway, and what to do in an emergency.
