Director's Briefing | Lithium-ion Batteries
Lithium-ion (LiB) batteries are a good example of how changes to the workplace need to be kept under review.
Lithium-ion batteries are in use in different sizes across a wide variety of areas, devices and products. However, precautions are needed, as LiB fires are extremely difficult to extinguish and are very energetic. The risk particularly occurs with damaged or faulty equipment, or where batteries or charging equipment have been modified.
This Director’s Briefing explores the risks in the workplace, the requirements for risk assessments, Safe Systems of Work, storage, charging considerations, tests and real-world case studies.
This guide covers:
- Fire and explosion hazards from lithium-ion batteries
- Required fire and risk assessments
- Safe Systems of Work, including communication and review
- Storage and charging practices
- Legislation applicable to lithium-ion battery use
- Case studies of battery failures and fires
