WMASSP Program: Lithium Battery Safety

Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere. In our pockets, on our desks, in manufacturing, on construction sites, and in our garages. From EV charging stations, forklifts, warehouses, and power tools, these batteries are integrated into our lives. This session will provide guests with what exposures are in their workplace & homes and steps to minimize that loss potential. We will learn what makes up a Lithium-Ion battery, why they are so difficult to extinguish, what steps fire departments are taking to combat this, and what your insurance carrier’s stance is on this special hazard.
