Work involving lithium cells and batteries continues to increase across the University. To work with these batteries safely, workers need to be fully aware of the hazards they present and how to best control those hazards. To support those working with these batteries, the University has developed the Lithium Cell and Battery Standard. This standard provides guidance on the handling, storage, creation, and disposal of lithium batteries and cells.
See the Lithium Cell and Battery Standard for more information.
The following training from the Nasa Engineering & Safety Centre is not mandatory, but it is recommended for everyone working with lithium cells and batteries:
Lithium-Ion Batteries: Fundamental Concepts, Heating Mechanisms, and Simulation Techniques

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
