Battery Charging Area Checklist

Batteries pose a major fire hazard if they’re not properly handled, stored, and taken care of. Ensuring the safety of your workers means providing a safe space for workers to charge batteries away from busier areas within the facility.

This free checklist helps you audit the battery charging area for compliance with OSHA’s battery safety standards. It covers the following categories:

• Charging area 5S
• Emergency preparedness
• Battery safety
• PPE

Once you download the checklist, you can change the information to align with your site’s charging area. Distribute the checklist to your team and use it at least once per month to audit your battery stations and charging ports for electrical hazards, area organization, and other safety concerns.
