Lithium-ion Battery Safety is designed for workers who interact with lithium-ion batteries or lithium-powered devices. It explores the hazards presented by this technology and how they can be managed. This understanding helps workers implement control measures to ensure lithium-ion batteries are charged, handled and disposed of safely and in line with regulations.
From handheld smart devices to large-scale energy storage systems, lithium-ion batteries are now a fixture of modern workplaces. Lithium-ion technology is typically safe when handled correctly, but many workers falsely assume these batteries require no additional considerations.
This lack of awareness, combined with the widespread adoption of this technology, has led to a sharp rise in incidents involving lithium-ion batteries. In one year alone, fires linked to lithium-ion batteries surged by 46% in the UK.
Employers must now assess and manage the risks presented by lithium-ion batteries. This course ensures employees understand the hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries and best practices for using, storing and charging them. With this knowledge, employees can safely handle lithium-ion batteries in various work environments.
While there are currently no lithium-ion battery safety regulations in the UK, employers must consider the risks they present as part of their general health and safety duties.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers must prevent their work activities from harming workers and members of the public. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 reinforces this responsibility. It requires employers to identify risks and take appropriate action to eliminate or control them.
Fire risk assessments are also necessary under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Any fire hazards must be identified and managed appropriately.
Lithium-ion Battery Safety helps ensure compliance with these regulations. It demonstrates steps have been taken to manage risks and gives employees the awareness they need to work safely with lithium-ion batteries.

I have worked in the industry now for many years, and Human Focus is by far the easiest method I have used to keep your training up-to-date. the courses cover a wide variety of subjects and are explained in great detail. I would recommend these courses to everyone as they are relevant to all industries.
I found the training and the help fantastic.
I can also say that I am impressed with the way Human Focus have been in communication as well as the many training modules both myself and Peter have recently gone through. We will continue with Human Focus for further training.
I found the course content to be thorough but easy to follow. We utilise Human Focus for all our in-house training and are very happy with its ease of use and array of training.
I found the course was excellent and well put together. The ability to fit it round work and home life was excellent.

Lithium-ion Battery Safety Training explores how these batteries work and the risks they present when mishandled or faulty. It goes on to explain how these risks can be controlled and best practices for use, storage, charging and disposal so you can ensure safety across your operations.
Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable batteries that store and release energy using lithium ions. They’re light, reliable and can store a significant amount of energy for their size. Because of these benefits, lithium-ion batteries are the default power source for laptops, smart phones and other handheld devices, including power tools. They’re also used in electric vehicles (EVs) and largescale energy storage systems because of their capacity.
Yes. A process known as thermal runaway can happen inside a faulty lithium-ion battery when not in use. During thermal runaway, cells within the battery fail and overheat, causing a similar reaction in neighbouring cells until the entire battery is dangerously hot.
This process can happen if batteries are overcharged, physically damaged, exposed to high temperatures or simply due to a manufacturing defect. Thermal runaway and how it can be prevented is covered in the lithium-ion battery fire training section of our course.
Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular rechargeable battery today and all workplaces use lithium-powered devices to some extent. But the rapid adoption of this technology has outpaced awareness of the associated risks. Many employers and workers are unaware of lithium-ion battery hazards and how to manage them safely.
Our online lithium-ion battery safety course raises awareness of these risks and how they must be managed to protect workplaces and staff.
Lithium-ion Battery Safety is an awareness-level training course for workers who handle these batteries regularly. It covers everything you need to be aware of while using, storing, charging and disposing of batteries so risks can be managed throughout a battery’s lifecycle.
Our online lithium-ion battery training course covers the major risks and control measures all workers must be aware of. It can also be accessed when users want, with the option to pause training or repeat sections whenever necessary. Completing the training will give you the awareness you need to manage lithium-ion batteries safely.
This lithium-ion battery awareness course is a single module made up of six sections. It takes approximately 25 minutes to complete.
Lithium-ion battery training certification is valid for three years. After this period, it’s necessary to retake the course to renew your certification. Renewal proves your knowledge is up to date and you’re aware of current best practice.
All Human Focus courses are accredited or approved by an independent body to guarantee quality and accuracy. Lithium-ion Battery Safety Training is IIRSM-approved.
