Webinar Details:
Lithium battery technologies are in widespread and growing use in many manufacturing and commercial applications, and incidences of explosions, fires, and injuries are on the rise. OSHA issued a safety and health bulletin in 2019 to raise awareness about the hazards and controls of lithium batteries. In addition, fire, electrical, and building codes, as well as other standards (e.g., Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA)), continue to evolve to reduce the risks around the design, use, and transportation of these batteries.
