Lithium Ion Battery Safety Awareness

Lithium-ion battery safety training is useful for everyone because these batteries are central to all our lives, powering everything from children’s toys to electric vehicles.  

However, training is especially important for employees who use lithium-powered devices at work. At work there may be laptops, smartphones, tools, and electric vehicles in close proximity which poses a heightened fire risk.  

Our lithium-ion battery safety training raises awareness of the safety hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries, how to reduce the risk of thermal runaway, and what to do in an emergency. 

Who should take this course?

Lithium-ion battery awareness training is useful for everybody, but particularly beneficial for employees who use lithium-powered devices at work including laptops, mobile phones, tools, and electric vehicles. 

Please note, we also offer lithium-ion battery training for managers which ensures senior staff understand their legal responsibilities for lithium-ion battery safety, how to manage risks, and plan for emergencies.

What are the benefits of our lithium-ion battery safety training course?

• Raises awareness of lithium-ion battery safety risks, how to reduce risks and how to respond in an emergency. 
  
• Developed by our fire safety professionals who have extensive experience of high-risk environments. 
• Online course can be completed at the employee’s own pace. 
• Interactive training to keep participants engaged throughout. 
• Multiple choice quizzes so participants can check their understanding as they go. 
• Summaries at the end of each section to enhance understanding. 

Course duration

Lithium-ion training online takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.

Course aims

By the end of the lithium-ion battery safety training course participants will understand: 

• Where and why lithium-ion batteries are used and their desirable properties. 
• How lithium-ion batteries must be handled, stored, and disposed of. 
• How to minimise the risks associated with lithium-ion batteries. 
• How to respond to fires involving different types of lithium-ion batteries. 

How is it delivered?

Lithium-ion battery safety training is delivered online or through a computer network to each trainee at their desktop, laptop or mobile device.  

We can also provide the course to be integrated into a SCORM compliant LMS.  

Training can be completed at the employee’s own pace by “bookmarking” and recording progress and returning to the training later.
