As the electric vehicle (EV) revolution gains momentum, the manufacturing and assembly of EVs and their batteries are becoming significant industries. While these advancements bring numerous benefits, they also introduce unique safety considerations.
Working with electric vehicles and battery manufacturing involves several potential hazards that must be addressed with suitable PPE. These hazards can include electrical shock, chemical exposure, fire, and thermal hazards. It is crucial to identify and assess these risks comprehensively before selecting the appropriate protective equipment.
The safety risks associated with EV and battery manufacture are not confined to one phase or activity, with multiple protection types usually required across each stage of the process.
