Industrial Hygiene in Electric Vehicle Applications

June 5, 2025 11:00am-12:00pm CT 

Presenter:

Elizabeth Nuñez MS, CIH, CSP

Course Description:

Electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing presents unique health and safety challenges. At this time, comprehensive industry regulations have not been published. Specifically, lithium-ion battery cell and pack assembly operations pose different chemical hazards than traditional automotive operations. Industrial Hygiene professionals must assess and evaluate the entire EV battery and component product development lifecycle from raw materials through recycling and disposal to understand new safety challenges. As a result, new mitigation methods and control measures need to be developed and implemented to protect employees. This session will provide an overview of EV lithium-ion batteries and the associated chemical hazards to the audience for consideration and future application. 

Learning Objectives: 

1. Demonstrate knowledge of lithium-ion battery components and function.

2. Comprehend the challenges associated with risk management in emerging technology 

3. Identify chemical hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries. 

4. Describe effective emergency and spill response strategies for electric vehicle lithium-ion battery operations. 

5. Understand the role of the medical practitioner in the EV space. 

Learning Outcomes:

At completion of this webinar, 85% of attendees will have increased knowledge of the chemical hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries, as well as emergency and spill responses in lithium-ion battery operations.
