DESCRIPTION: BatteryIQ provides students with a simplified system to understand, identify, and safely respond to battery-related incidents as small as a cellphone or electric scooter to large battery failures such as an electric vehicle or energy storage facility. Students will be provided with Quick Reference Guides allowing students to quickly, effectively, and efficiently categorize battery-related emergencies based on battery type and incident severity. These categories then guide students to determine the potential hazards, response considerations, required PPE, recommended equipment, and emergency operation tactics to consider when arriving on-scene of a Li-ION Battery Emergency.
RECOMMENDED PREREQUISITE: Those trained to NFPA Awareness/Operations level.
