Lithium-Ion Safety Storage and Disposal
Lithium-ion batteries power everyday devices but may pose fire risks due to their high energy density. Community Recycling Centres (CRCs) help manage these hazards by offering safe disposal options for the public. However, improper storage and unknown condition batteries can still lead to severe fire risks, highlighting the need for specialized safety solu- tions in these settings.
CRC Key Features
Recognizing the unique requirements of CRCs, our Trafalgar Safety team designed a specialized battery disposal cabinet to ensure safe handling and containment.
Other Key features designed for CRC use include:
- Fire-Resistant Lining
- Chute and Ramp Design
- Spill Containment Area
- Forklift Transport Feet
The new battery disposal cabinet steps in as a critical solution, focusing on containing fires for safe evacuation, rather than relying on traditional suppression methods. This pro- active approach enhances the safety of CRCs, providing a robust defense against the risks associated with hazardous battery disposal.
