Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Risk

Job Hazard Analysis & Training

Our Lithium-Ion Battery Fire Risk Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) provides a structured, practical approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating fire risks associated with lithium-ion batteries.

Available as a standalone assessment or combined with online or in-person training, this service supports safer operations, improved occupant protection, and more effective emergency response planning.

What the JHA Covers

Our analysis focuses on real-world risks across charging, storage, handling, and emergency scenarios.

Core Elements Include:

Identification of fire hazards related to charging practices, storage conditions, handling activities, and damaged or defective batteries

Risk evaluation based on likelihood, severity, and exposure

Engineering and administrative controls to reduce or eliminate risk

Emergency response and fire mitigation planning

Documentation and recordkeeping to support training and compliance requirements

Training Options

Training can be delivered independently or integrated into the JHA.

  • Online training modules for staff, residents, and students, with completion tracking

  • In-person training tailored to facilities, maintenance teams, housing staff, and safety personnel

  • Custom content aligned to site-specific risks and occupancy profiles

  • Live fire suppression and chemical monitoring training for Fire Brigade or HSE teams

Core Principles

Why FCL-X?

Validated by Third-Party Testing
Collaborate with certified labs for burn testing, UL assessments, and toxicity analysis.

Thermal Runaway Control
Design to interrupt and contain cascading lithium-ion cell failure – not just visible flames.

No Reignition Guarantees 
Aim for suppression formulas that prevent heat rebuilding and vapor reformation.

Data Transparency
Publish suppression times, cooling curves, and comparative efficacy vs. traditional agents.

Scenario-Based Demonstrations 
Include side-by-side burn footage for e-bike, residential ESS, and EV packs to showcase adaptability.

Toxicology & Environmental Profiling 
Provide SDS sheets, PFAS-free certifications, and post-burn residue assessments.

Non-PFAS Formulation
FCL-X uses a proprietary suppressant blend free from perfluorinated chemicals (PFAS), avoiding long-term health risks tied to cancer, liver toxicity, and bioaccumulation.

Respiratory Safety
Upon deployment, FCL-X minimizes hazardous smoke and airborne particulates – reducing the risk of inhalation exposure, especially critical for non-SCBA responders.

Low Residue Toxicity  
After burn tests, FCL-X shows non-corrosive, non-conductive residue that doesn’t pose dermal or respiratory hazards during post-fire cleanup or inspection.

No Secondary Combustion Risk 
FCL-X does not emit flammable or explosive gases when heated –  eliminating the risk of suppressant-induced ignition or overpressure scenarios.

Minimized Exposure
Suppression agents should reduce toxic smoke, airborne particulates such as HF and CO, and be an environmentally friendly product.

Rapid Knockdown & Cooling
Measurable cooling to stop thermal runaway and re ignition, which reduces firefighter fatigue on scene.

Multi-Segment Education Campaigns
Custom messaging for emergency responders and High Hazard Potential (HHP) users across education, healthcare, industrial, and commercial sectors – highlighting lithium-ion fire risks and tailored mitigation strategies.

Visual Risk Communication
Use thermal images, burn footage comparisons, and hands-on training to educate technical and non-technical audiences on fire behaviors and mitigation.

Policy & Standards Leadership
Support NFPA, UL, and industry roundtables, supporting efforts to define lithium-ion suppression categories and best practices.

Community Engagement
Sponsor training events, safety days, and co-branded awareness campaigns.

Thought Leadership Content
Publish white papers, social media posts, and explainer videos positioning FCL-X as the go-to resource for lithium-ion suppression insights.

Regulatory Advocacy Support
Equip stakeholders with data, graphics, and talking points to influence local code updates and firefighting protocols.
