Partner Hazard3 Rochester, Michigan, United States
This session will prepare HazMat Technicians to conduct risk-based response to Lithium Metal and Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery emergencies, including incidents involving consumer batteries, scooters, electric vehicles, and bulk shipment of batteries. Topics will include battery construction/construction, thermal runaway, battery incident assessment, developing an action plan, air monitoring, and overpacking damaged lithium battery cells into approved DOT containers.
Learning Objectives:
Students will be able to describe the key differences between Lithium Metal and Lithium-Ion batteries.
Given a simulated scenario involving a battery emergency, students will be able to develop a proposed incident action plan (IAP) to safely mitigate the incident.
