Above Compliance: Building a Culture of BESS Safety

Synopsis

The rapid deployment of battery energy storage systems brings heightened focus on safety protocols, incident prevention, and emergency response preparedness. This panel examines critical safety considerations across the entire BESS lifecycle, from design and construction through operations and maintenance. Industry leaders will share insights on evolving safety standards, best practices for thermal runaway prevention, and lessons learned from real-world incidents that have shaped current safety protocols.

• Risk Management: Implementing comprehensive safety protocols, thermal management systems, and early detection mechanisms
• Emergency Response: Developing effective response plans, training programs, and coordination with local first responders
• Regulatory Compliance: Understanding evolving safety standards, certification requirements, and industry best practices
• Incident Prevention: Identifying potential hazards, implementing preventive measures, and maintaining robust safety systems
