Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Safety Hub
){kind=logo}
New to SHW Live Manchester 2026, visit the Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Safety Hub in partnership with Safelincs. Discover what can be done to mitigate lithium-ion battery fires and what tools are available to prevent and control fires of this type. Catch one of our live product demos that will take you through the latest solutions on the market. Or, speak to the team of experts to discuss your specific risks and explore different options accompanied by practical advice.
Fires resulting from emerging energy technologies are becoming more common with research from Business Insurer QBE reporting that UK FRS are now tackling 3 fires related to lithium-ion batteries every day. With Government safety standards and legislation slow to react, it is left to organisations to decide how best to mitigate the risk. In addition, many insurance providers are stipulating adequate prevention and protection for premises against this type of fire, meaning that businesses across the UK need to take action.
Join us for live demonstrations of industry-leading solutions such as containment boxes, safe charging and storage cabinets, specialised extreme temperature fire blankets, pallet covers and extinguishing media. Speak to our team of experts to find out what solutions may work for you, or pop along to our Insights Hub at 1pm to share your experiences with lithium-ion fires and hear what others are doing to combat the risk:
