• Safety Bulletin | Lithium Batteries in the Energy Sector
  • Lithium batteries are used in several products, both consumer and industrial. Their energy density provides larger and longer-lasting amounts of energy than other batteries and this poses a greater risk of fires and explosions.
  • ESC’s Lithium Batteries in the Energy Industry safety bulletin covers hazards when using lithium batteries, places they are commonly found on work sites and best practices for dealing with lithium battery fires.
