SUMMARY:Lithium-Ion Battery Safety on Job Sites: Risks\, Rules & Real-World Controls
DESCRIPTION:Lithium-ion batteries are now common on construction sites\, powering tools\, equipment\, and temporary systems. When damaged\, improperly charged\, or poorly stored\, they can create serious fire and safety hazards\, including thermal runaway. This program will cover practical steps contractors can take to safely use\, charge\, store\, and inspect lithium-ion batteries on active jobsites. Speakers will also discuss OSHA-recognized hazards\, fire department expectations\, and common jobsite conditions that can increase risk.\n\n \n\nWhy Attend\n\nThis session brings together perspectives from insurance risk engineering\, fire and life safety\, and local fire response. Attendees will hear from experts who understand how lithium-ion battery hazards show up in real jobsite conditions and what contractors can do to prevent incidents\, meet expectations\, and protect people\, property\, and projects. Attendees will leave with clear\, compliance-focused strategies to reduce fire risk and make battery safety part of everyday jobsite operations.\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n    Chris Garrabrant\, Ph.D.\n\n    AVP and Senior Principal Liability Risk Engineer\n\n    Zurich Resilience Solutions\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        Joel Pickering\n\n        Fmr.
