Training & Risk Assessment Guidance
At EV-EXBOX we believe one of the challenges facing EV and clean energy infrastructure roll out is the lack of clear guidance, regulations and the overall knowledge to manage risk. Through our theory and field based training we hope to increase the risk awareness skills of installers and operators of EV charging and clean energy infrastructure to ensure assets, the environment and the public are fully considered in any existing or planned facilities.
Training and Guidance Overview
The purpose of the EV-EXBOX electrical vehicle charging risk assessment guidance course is to help organisations increase their awareness of the risks associated with a thermal runaway event resulting in, fire, explosion, environmental pollution or a public safety issue. Our training and guidance supports the development of individuals risk assessment skills regarding EV charging and clean energy infrastructure.
​
The course can be divided into theoretical classroom learning, (1/2 day ), and can be extended to a full day to include 2-3 on site sessions to physically walk around existent or planned client EV charging locations to identify risks and solutions that were discussed in the theoretical classroom learning session.
​The training and guidance session covers the following important topics that are essential for the competent risk assessment of EV charging infrastructure.
​
EV charging infrastructure today vs the future
An introduction to thermal runaway
Vapour cloud explosion
The risk of fire within an existing site
The risk of fire spread beyond a site boundary
Public safety
Emergency ingress and egress
Firewater pollution below ground
Firewater pollution above ground
Existing guidance & regulations
Emergency response plans
