Three reasons you should train with us!

Align yourself with industry best practice and EV FireSafe’s globally recognised safety expertise. and show your commitment to proactive safety leadership in the transition to electrified fleets and equipment
01

To future-proof your safety

Electrification is accelerating, so it's more important than ever to upskill yourself and others with ways to understand and reduce the risk of an EV or battery fire, and how to manage it when it does happen. It's not optional any more...it's now a baseline safety expectation.
02

To get the knowledge you need, fast

We get that everyone is busy, that's why we've built courses from first-hand experience and case studies. In every course, we aim to share our years of knowledge in ways that will engage and excite you to learn.

New tech =
new challenges

Electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries are everywhere — powering the vehicles, devices and systems we rely on daily.

But with them come new fire safety challenges.

Whether you’re responding to incidents, managing sites where EVs or charging is used, or ensuring workforce battery fire safety, learning how battery fires start, behave, and can be mitigated is essential.

From firefighters to facilities managers, our online training helps you understand, prevent and respond to EV and battery fire risks.

We call it proactive EV fire risk management.

How has this training been developed?

EV FireSafe has been researching, burning, tearing down and examining EVs since 2018. These courses are based on our extensive experience, data and globally emerging best practice. In may cases, we’re setting the global standard in EV fire safety and response, and have built out frameworks and evidence-based assessment tools designed to protect people and property.

Who built these courses?

The team at EV FireSafe with other global experts! We're funded by the Department of Defence to research EV battery fires (our research is at evfiresafe.com), and have worked with government departments, critical infrastructure clients and emergency agencies to build awareness and enhance safety all over the world.

Are these courses accredited or have CPD points?

As there are no accreditation standards for the courses we run (anywhere in the world...yet!) our courses are not accredited, and we currently don't offer CPD points.

On all topics, we aim to set the global standard in EV fire training.

What if I have a question?

If something isn't clear, or you want to get in touch, email us at hello@evfiresafe.com - allow up to 48 hours for a response from our team.

Do you sell EV fire blankets or extinguishers?

We're very proud of our global research into EV battery fires (read more about that here) which is funded by the Australian Department of Defence. That funding means the knowledge we share with you here is completely independent and not influenced by products or sales.

An important point: Our team has serious reservations about the safety and efficacy of fire blankets, extinguishers and underbody sprays (amongst other products) marketed as suitable for lithium-ion or EV battery fires (thermal runaway). We have tested, and been present at testing, where these products have repeatedly failed to work. If you are considering the purchase of a product, please ensure you have done your due diligence as their use may cause injury or fatality.
