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.

    Lithium-ion battery safety FAQs

    Do I need this training if my business only uses a few lithium-ion devices?

    Yes, even if your business only uses a few devices, the risks associated with lithium-ion batteries are present. Proper training helps minimise the chance of fires and ensures your employees know how to handle batteries safely and respond in case of emergencies.

    How is this course different from the managing lithium-ion batteries course?

    The lithium-ion battery safety course is aimed at all employees who use lithium-powered devices, providing awareness-level training on the risks and how to respond in emergencies. The Managing Lithium-ion Batteries course is for senior staff and managers who need to understand their legal responsibilities and manage risks at an organisational level.

    What kind of support can I expect if I encounter issues with the course?

    We offer full technical support to ensure a smooth experience, whether you’re using our SHINE platform or integrating the course into your LMS. Additionally, our customer support team is available to answer any questions related to course content or compliance.

    Absolutely. This course is designed for all employees, regardless of their technical expertise. It uses simple language and interactive features to ensure everyone understands the risks associated with lithium-ion batteries and how to manage them.

    Can I use this training to meet legal or insurance requirements?

    While the course itself does not replace formal legal or insurance compliance requirements, it can help your organisation demonstrate that employees have been trained in the safe use and management of lithium-ion batteries. This can be valuable in meeting regulatory expectations and demonstrating due diligence.

    Is there a discount if I need to train a large team?

    What our clients say

    From national pub chains to global insurance, our clients value our expertise and service.

    I have found the team at Praxis42 to be one of the best providers of fire risk assessments in the UK. The fire expertise, together with a robust quality assurance process, means the quality of fire risk assessments are high.

    The customer services ethos of the leadership team, together with the number of directly employed fire risk assessors means Praxis42 are quick to respond and react to our changing prioritises and resourcing requirements.

    Rachel Price – Director, Health and Safety Consulting UK&I at AECOM

    Praxis42 have provided health, safety and food hygiene audits and risk assessments for our public house estate for nearly 10 years and visit over 3200 premises annually.  Their multi- skilled team understand what is required and apply pragmatic solutions to help us ensure compliance across the complex hospitality environment. Coupled with this they use technology to deliver and are flexible in their delivery and enable us to continuously improve our risk profile and are a pleasure to work with.

    Dan Dutfield – Group Safety Manager – Ei Group

    We worked with Praxis42 in August 2020 to obtain a Covid-19 Return to Work eLearning module for our staff. The module from Praxis42 stood out from others as it delivered on all fronts: the content was excellent, it was visually engaging as a result of using the latest eLearning software and the user experience was fantastic.

    William Brown – HR Manager – The Glasgow School of Art

    I would have no hesitation in recommending Praxis42 and their interactive and engaging training solutions.

    Ian Horsman, Head of Health, Safety and Environment at Atos UK

    The compliance learning management system tracks, records and reports on the training which provides just the right level of information for me to manage completion of the programme. Working with Praxis42 was very simple and they were helpful and professional throughout the process.

    Marianne Pendray – Director of Operations, Legal and Compliance – ITV

    Praxis42 were chosen after an extensive tender process earlier this year. The quality and range of the e-learning courses, assessments and documents were excellent and the ability to tailor these to the specific needs of Hiscox customers greatly appreciated. The team has shown themselves to be highly professional, flexible and dedicated to building a long-term partnership with Hiscox and delivering a great experience to our customers.

    Chris Parker – UK Underwriting Vendor Manager – Hiscox

    Praxis42 understands how a compliance programme is delivered and supports me at a strategic level, with insights and help with what often appears a complex subject, with pragmatic clear guidance, advice and solutions.

    Ross Warden – Retail Director – Kurt Geiger

    We like working with Praxis42 as they are large enough to manage the business requirement but are small enough to ensure that there is a personal relationship to assist with dynamic situations at speed to ensure that McColl’s needs are met.

    Alison Fagan – Health and Safety Manager – McColl’s

    We are delighted that our partnership with the Praxis42 team has been extended for a further three years and are looking forward to working with them on the next phase of our safety journey.
