Work involving lithium cells andÌýbatteries continues to increase across the University. To work with these batteries safely, workers need toÌýbe fully aware of the hazards they presentÌýand how to best control those hazards. To support those working with these batteries, the UniversityÌýhas developed the Lithium Cell and Battery Standard. This standard provides guidance on the handling, storage, creation, and disposal of lithium batteries and cells.
See theÌýLithium Cell and Battery Standard for more information.Ìý
