Course Hub
This two-half day course is intended to give participants an overview of the Lithium-ion battery components, primary failure modes of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and their consequences and associated mitigation techniques. In addition, the course will discuss the widely accepted test method for evaluating thermal runaway in BESS (UL 9540A) and the regulatory aspects of installation of stationary energy storage systems with a focus on Lithium-ion batteries (NFPA 855).
This course will benefit those in the BESS manufacturing and integration sector, BESS end-users, project managers, emergency response personnel, process safety personnel, or any battery enthusiasts. Having basic BESS knowledge is beneficial but not necessary.

Customized Courses
While BakerRisk offers a range of pre-packaged courses, we recognize that the most effective courses incorporate your company’s specific hazards, incidents, and lessons learned. Please contact us to discuss how we can custom-tailor courses to fit your company’s needs. Your course may include:
Courses may be offered at your site or a BakerRisk location, depending on the course or your needs.
We’ll walk through your facility to customize courses to suit and include an assessment.
Utilize demonstrations to give a first-hand feel of hazards through simulations.
Case studies using real scenarios, including role play, so participants can apply their new training.
