Event Description
Ontario is quickly becoming a leader in the battery electric vehicle (BEV) sector, with billions being invested by the Ontario government and global automakers. This emerging technology, however, has brought forward a variety of new hazards that many in the industry do not fully understand. This safety connection will build off of previous WSPS BEV safety connections, discussing BEV and lithium-Ion battery (LiB) hazards, relevant legislation, health and safety considerations for the industrial lifecycle of BEV/LiB, and resources to support BEV/LiB workplace safety.
WSPS Safety Connection events are focused, timely virtual sessions that address hazards and risks in the Agricultural, Manufacturing and Services Sectors. AVAILABLE AT NO COST to all health and safety professionals across the province and across Canada.
