TS3: BATTERY SAFETY TRAINING
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2 | 8:00 AM - 4:45 PM
Instructor:
Shmuel De-Leon, CEO, Shmuel De-Leon Energy, Ltd.
Batteries become daily use components for many applications. More than that, we can say that without batteries, our lives would change dramatically -- just think of life with no mobile phones.
In the race for energy density, we sometimes forget about the safety. Unfortunately, we face daily safety events with injuries and severe damage.
This training program focuses on portable and stationary battery safety along with battery cycle life (acceptance, testing, assembly, use, transportation and disposal).
The training incorporates Shmuel De-Leon’s and other experiences on battery safety from over 28 years of work in the field.
The motivation behind the training is to provide training attendees with the knowledge needed to safely handle the batteries in their organizations and to support reduction of safety events.
Key Benefits Training Provides:
- Full review of root cause for battery safety events
- Guidelines on how to handle batteries safely
- What-to-do guidelines in case of a battery safety event
- Checklist of safety equipment needed
- Fresh and updated knowledge about battery safety
Training Program Topics:
- Battery essentials
- Primary cells and batteries
- Rechargeable cells and batteries
- Battery safety hazards
- Battery safety guidelines
- Battery safety equipment
- Battery safety design
- Battery safety disposal
- Battery safety transportation
- Battery safety standards and testing
- EV battery safety
