This practical checklist helps sites manage the elevated fire risk from rechargeable lithium batteries. Based on Aviva’s Loss Prevention Standard, it guides safe storage, charging, segregation and quarantine, and handling of damaged, faulty, returned, or recycled batteries. It prompts updates to risk assessments and SOPs, coordination with insurers and the Fire and Rescue Service, and clear emergency procedures. The checklist covers cabinet and room fire resistance, spacing and barriers, EX-rated ventilation, thermographic inspections, PAT testing, alarm and sprinkler coverage, contractor equipment controls, and environmental considerations during firefighting.
