In a nutshell

What this course aims to achieve

Acquire the skills needed to manage lithium battery fire risk using an innovative methodology

Three days to assess and control lithium battery fire risk at a site: storage, charging, detection and response to thermal runaway.

Key challenges

  • A lithium battery can reignite hours after apparent extinction: the end of the response cannot be judged by eye.
  • Charging, storing and handling batteries grow in premises designed for other uses.
  • Insurers’ and authorities’ requirements evolve with a still-recent risk, without a single framework.

Learning objectives

  • Understand how lithium batteries work and the mechanisms of thermal runaway.
  • Adopt the right prevention reflexes and initial response to this risk.

Detailed programme

  1. 1How lithium batteries work and fire risk factors.
  2. 2Prevention measures and correct behaviours in the event of an incident.

Target audience

  • QHSE staff, technicians and personnel handling or storing lithium batteries.

Prerequisites

  • No prerequisite.

Learning methods

Content adapted to the session format (in-person, remote or e-learning).

Learning assessment

Questionnaire or case study depending on the session format.

Scope of application

Applicable prevention measures depend on the battery type, the site and requirements in force; this emerging risk is subject to still-evolving regulation depending on the country.
