Lithium Battery Safety Training - An Overview
Just because a lithium-ion battery is no longer in use doesn’t mean it’s harmless. In fact, if damaged, it can go into thermal runaway within seconds, triggering fires or even explosions. That is why disposal isn’t optional or casual. There are strict safety measures in place to keep people and the environment safe. Certain EPA and OSHA requirements must be followed when handling and recycling these batteries in the U.S. The lithium battery safety course teaches you the rules, how to prepare batteries for disposal, and how to safely get rid of them.
