SUMMARY:Webinar: Don't Gamble with Lithium-Ion Battery Risks
DESCRIPTION:Lithium-ion batteries power everything from laptops and power tools to electric vehicles\, micromobility devices\, and large-scale energy storage systems\, but their growing use introduces new fire and life safety challenges. This presentation provides engineers with a practical understanding of battery hazards\, thermal runaway\, charging and storage best practices\, applicable codes and standards\, and emergency response planning to help protect people\, property\, and critical operations. \nLearning Objectives\nAfter attending this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify where lithium-ion batteries are most commonly used and understand the associated fire\, life safety\, and property protection risks.\nRecognize high-risk charging\, storage\, and operational scenarios involving electric vehicles\, micromobility devices\, battery energy storage systems\, and other lithium-ion battery applications.\nApply practical risk management\, loss prevention\, and emergency response strategies to reduce the likelihood and impact of thermal runaway events.\nUnderstand relevant codes\, standards\, and best practices related to lithium-ion battery installation\, charging\, storage\, and emergency planning.\n\nAbout the Presenter\nDonna Settle\, P.E. is the Property Risk Engineering Leader with Gallagher Claims and Risk Consulting. With experience spanning industrial operations\, insurance carrier engineering\, brokerage consulting\, and risk management\, Donna works at the intersection of engineering\, fire protection\, resilience\, and emerging technologies. She advises organizations on complex property risk issues involving renewable energy\, fire protection\, and disaster preparedness\, and is a frequent speaker on emerging risks affecting facilities\, infrastructure\, and the built environment. \nREGISTER HERE
