Last month, we attended the Battery Tech Expo at Silverstone .

We had fantastic conversations with people from many industries about lithium-ion batteries and how the associated fire risks can be effectively managed.

Our Senior Technical Consultant Matt Humby delivered a well-attended presentation explaining how companies can employ the Firechief? Halo? approach to battery fire safety to mitigate the risk of thermal runaway.

In April, we took a look into the unique fire safety challenges presented in Purpose-Build Student Accommodation.

According to recent statistics, 28 fires a day are started by cooking appliances, and fire risks in the kitchen are emphasised in student accommodation, where tenants are living independently for the first time.

Exploring this risk, we also took the time to explain how a device like the Firechief? Kitchen Stoveguard can provide meaningful intervention, make life easier for building managers, and ultimately prevent loss of life and property.

We're excited to see reputable publications like IFSJ joining the conversation around battery fire safety. Education is vital for this risk!
