Abstract
It has been repeatedly shown that the usage of lithium-ion batteries can harbor dangerous surprises, for example, in an incident in which a car battery caught fire several weeks after testing [1]. In addition to ensuring the safety of end users, this new storage technology poses new challenges in regard to occupational health and safety in industrial applications.
