👥 WHO THIS IS FOR
Who this course is for
This course is suitable for staff, supervisors and managers in UK workplaces where lithium-ion powered equipment is used, charged or stored.
It is particularly relevant for:
- Facilities and premises teams
- Warehousing and logistics teams
- Golf clubs and leisure venues
- Workshops and maintenance teams
- Retailers storing or charging battery powered products
- Businesses using e-bikes, scooters, power tools, EVs or charging stations
- Health and safety leads responsible for workplace fire risk awareness
The course is designed as workplace safety awareness training. It is not a dangerous goods, hazmat, IATA, ADR or lithium battery shipping certification course.
Lithium Battery Safety in the Workplace
Lithium-ion batteries are now widely used across a range of industries, from warehousing and logistics to leisure, facilities management, and transport.
As their use increases, so does the need for effective lithium battery safety training. Many incidents occur not because of equipment failure, but due to a lack of awareness around safe handling, charging, and storage.
This lithium ion battery course has been designed to address those risks directly. By improving workplace battery safety awareness, organisations can reduce the likelihood of fire, equipment damage, and harm to people.
Understanding the causes of failure, including mechanical damage, incorrect charging, and exposure to heat, is essential in preventing battery fire risk and ensuring safe operations
⚠️ WHY THIS MATTERS
Lithium battery incidents in UK workplaces are rising — and most businesses aren’t prepared.
The number of lithium-ion batteries in the workplace has grown dramatically. E-bikes, EVs, power tools, warehouse equipment — they’re everywhere now, and so is the risk.
Yet most organisations have no formal training in place. No awareness of the warning signs. No clear process for what to do when something goes wrong.
The consequences can be severe:
- Fires that spread faster than standard response can contain
- Legal and regulatory exposure under UK health and safety law
- Reputational damage, insurance complications, and operational downtime
The risk isn’t theoretical — incidents are happening in workplaces like yours right now.
⚠️ WHAT COULD GO WRONG
Lithium battery incidents escalate quickly and don’t behave like typical electrical risks:
- Fires can intensify rapidly due to thermal runaway
- Explosive and highly toxic gases may be released
- Batteries can re-ignite hours after appearing extinguished
- Standard fire response is often ineffective
Most incidents are preventable with the right awareness and early action.
