Specific risk control measures should be determined through site, task and activity risk assessments, with the handling of and work on batteries clearly changing the risk profile. Considerations include: Segregation of charging and any areas where work on or handling of lithium-ion batteries is undertaken.
Lithium-ion batteries offer many positive benefits, but they are a significant and growing fire hazard. Overcharging, short circuits and damage can lead to overheating, explosions, and fires. Here are 8 ways to help prevent fire and explosions when using lithium-ion batteries in commercial and industrial environments. 1.
This guidance document was born out of findings from research projects, Examining the Fire Safety Hazards of Lithium-ion Battery Powered e-Mobility Devices in Homes and The Impact of Batteries on Fire Dynamics. It is a featured resource supplement to the online training course, The Science of Fire and Explosion Hazards from Lithium-Ion Batteries.
For a fire risk assessment to be considered suitable and sufficient it must consider all significant risks of fire. Where lithium-ion batteries are concerned this should cover handling, storage, use and charging, as appropriate.
Lithium-ion batteries are the main type of rechargeable battery used and stored in commercial premises and residential buildings. The risks associated with these batteries can lead to a fire and/or an explosion with little or no warning.
Lithium-ion batteries can explode if they are kept in a pocket or handbag and they bump into coins or keys. Beware of modding. Modifying your electronics is dangerous and greatly increases your risk of explosion. Even experts can harm themselves while 'modding'. Amateurs should never mod their electronic devices in any way.
