An introduction to the burning issues surrounding Lithium-ion battery fires
This CPD-accredited presentation explores the risks, causes and consequences of Lithium-ion (LiB) battery fires. These fires are a growing concern, as more devices and products rely on this technology.
Particular attention is given to e-scooters and e-bikes, which are frequently highlighted in mainstream media due to their increasing fire risk. The session also addresses common concerns around charging electric vehicles in underground car parks and the safe recycling and disposal of Lithium-ion batteries.

Is our reliance on lithium-ion batteries safe or sustainable?
This 45-minute CPD-accredited course takes a deeper dive into the fire risks associated with Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries and introduces a 10-step action plan to help you mitigate and manage those risks effectively.
Li-ion batteries are now central to modern life, powering everything from portable electronics and electric vehicles to renewable energy systems. While they offer benefits like high energy density and fast charging, their safety and sustainability depend heavily on how they're manufactured, used, and disposed of.
As the use of Li-ion batteries grows, so too does the risk. These fires behave differently from other types, often burning hotter and longer, and releasing toxic gases. That's why fire safety education is essential, helping you assess the risk in your organisation, put preventative measures in place, and respond effectively should an incident occur.
