Full Circle Lithium Corp. announced the launch of a Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Risk Job Hazard Analysis and Training Platform focused on addressing fire safety risks associated with electric vehicle (EV) batteries and charging infrastructure.
The platform was developed in response to increased use of lithium-ion batteries in EVs and the corresponding rise in battery-related fire incidents reported by fire safety agencies in the US.
As EVs and supporting charging systems become more common across residential, commercial, and fleet environments, lithium-ion battery fire risk has emerged as a growing safety concern. Fire incidents linked to batteries and charging equipment have highlighted the need for structured approaches to risk identification, prevention, and emergency response planning.
The Job Hazard Analysis platform provides a standardized framework to help organizations assess lithium-ion battery fire risks related to EV charging practices, battery storage, handling procedures, and damaged or defective battery systems. It also supports evaluation of fire risk likelihood and severity and outlines engineering and administrative controls intended to reduce hazards associated with EV battery use.
The platform can be deployed as a standalone assessment or combined with training programs designed to support safer EV operations and improved fire preparedness. Training options include online modules and facility-specific instruction focused on EV charging areas, fleet operations, and residential or workplace environments where electric vehicles are charged or stored.
