Description
Lithium-ion batteries are now standard on construction sites—but they bring serious fire and safety risks if not properly managed. This program covers OSHA-recognized hazards, including thermal runaway, improper charging, and battery damage, along with the heightened risks created by typical jobsite conditions.
Participants will learn practical, compliance-focused approaches to safe use, storage, and charging, along with key expectations from OSHA and fire officials. The session equips contractors with straightforward strategies to reduce risk and manage lithium-ion battery safety as a routine part of jobsite operations.
