Two incidents on battery fires ... 1. Fire crews stand down following four day blaze at Scottish battery recycling plant - 16 APRIL 2024 40 Firefighters have stood down four days after attending an incident at a battery recycling facility in Kilwinning, Scotland. A large blaze at the site with a dark plume of smoke rose into the night sky. Locals also reported several loud “bangs” throughout the incident. The fire service was part of a multi-agency response to the incident which also included the police, local council, NHS, Scottish Water, and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency. Fenix Battery Recycling is the first UK based multi-chemistry battery recycling operation, which provides the infrastructure, resources and research and development needs to offer a complete recycling solution for all battery types. https://lnkd.in/gF4crHMJ 2. Electric vehicle battery manufacturer cited for serious safety violations 16 APRIL 2024 For the second time in less than a year, federal workplace safety inspectors have found a global electric vehicle battery manufacturer exposing employees to serious safety and health hazards at its Commerce plant, after workers suffered potentially permanent respiratory damage in an October 2023 lithium battery fire. - Exposed workers to inhalation hazards, including hydrofluoric acid vapours produced in lithium battery fires, by failing to establish a complete emergency response plan. - Did not ensure their staffing agency, Moveret Inc., who supplied workers at the site, made their employees aware of the hazards associated with lithium battery fires. - Failed to train on-site emergency responders and members of the fire brigade on hazards associated with lithium battery fires and equip them to treat employees exposed to such hazards. - Did not train workers on hazardous chemicals in their work areas and a means to protect themselves from lithium battery fires. - Failed to annually fit-test workers required to utilize tight-fitting facepiece respirators. In December 2023, OSHA cited SK Battery for exposing employees working with cobalt, nickel, and total dust to levels above the Permissible Exposure Limit and failing to institute feasible administrative or engineering controls, among other hazards. The employer exposed workers to high-levels of occupational noise and failed to implement a monitoring program and audiometric testing. A subsidiary of SK On, SK Battery America Inc. employs about 3,100 people at two battery manufacturing plants in Commerce. SK On is part of the Seoul-based SK Group, South Korea’s second-largest conglomerate in energy, advanced materials, biopharmaceuticals and digital industries. https://lnkd.in/grdMUUVW Hazardex Media Group Sonsu Controls inc Alex Keene #riskassessment #training #compliance #pvstop ... use proper retardants for battery and PV fires.
