Lithium Battery Safety

Course Code: OSH 254

$49
This course provides required safety training for employees who handle lithium batteries in the workplace, including "hazmat employees" who package, mark, label, load, unload, handle or otherwise prepare lithium-ion or lithium-metal batteries for transport.

Registration Includes:

  • Engaging, effective OSHA and DOT hazmat safety training
  • Workbooks and 29 CFR regulatory excerpts for reference
  • Tutorials for further reading on OSHA safety Standards
  • Three months of Lion Membership for complete compliance support
  • Certificate to demonstrate compliance with 49 CFR and OSHA standards


Lithium Battery Safety Training Covers: 

  • Unique characteristics of lithium batteries
  • Hazards of lithium batteries (including thermal runaway fires)
  • Safe storage of lithium batteries
  • Fighting lithium battery fires in the workplace
  • First-aid measures for employees 
  • Safe handling of lithium batteries
  • Post-emergency cleanup and disposal   

Under OSHA’s General Duty Clause, employers must protect employees from all known workplace hazards. US DOT's Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) require safety training for all "hazmat employees" who classify, name, package, mark, label, load, or unload shipments of lithium batteries.

Initial DOT hazmat training is required within 90 days of an employee's start date. DOT hazmat training, including safety training, must be repeated at least once every three years (49 CFR 172.704(c)(2)).

Who should take Lithium Battery Safety online training?

US DOT requires safety training as part of the hazmat employee training mandate for employees involved in preparing lithium-ion or lithium-metal batteries for transport. 

Lithium battery safety poses unique challenges. In addition to hazardous fluid leaks, improper handling of lithium batteries can result in dangerous thermal runaway fires, which can cause serious injury, physical damage, and evacuations. As lithium-ion and lithium-metal batteries become more in a wide range of industries, it's critical that employees know how to handle and store lithium batteries safely.
