"Underwriters Laboratories’ Fire Safety Research Institute (FSRI) recently launched a new lithium-ion battery safety campaign called Take C.H.A.R.G.E. of Battery Safety. The launch comes ahead of this year’s holiday shopping season, when many consumers will be purchasing lithium-ion battery-powered devices without an understanding of potential fire risks. FSRI is calling on the fire service and safety professionals to watch and share its new public serve announcement (PSA). The campaign aims to educate the public on how they can protect themselves and their property. FSRI has created a website for the campaign, BatteryFireSafety.org, which features the PSA and many additional free resources. Please consider sharing this information with your coworkers, contractors, and industry colleagues through safety messaging and toolbox talks."
