The Washington-based Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) is co-hosting a series of two-day classes to offer safe electric vehicle (EV) battery handling and dismantling certification.
Working in partnership with the Energy Security Agency (ESA), ISRI is offering the certification classes in Ostrander, Ohio, Feb. 12-13 and March 11-12. The courses also were offered in early January.
The two-day EV Safety Technician courses are designed to equip recycling and dismantling professionals with the critical knowledge, skills and abilities to safely interact with EVs and lithium-ion batteries.
A prerequisite for aspiring attendees is completion of the High Voltage Electric Vehicle Technology Online Course offered by the ESA.
Upon completion of the Safety Technician course, students will receive ESA certificates of completion and International Motor Institute (IMI) certification in battery pack dismantling operations.
“The course structure provides a high-energy and interactive balance of classroom and academic sessions with practical hands-on labs at the state-of-the-art ESA/Energy Safety Response Group ( ESRG) alternative energy testing lab,” ISRI says.
Among aspects of EV dismantling training covered by the course include EV and hybrid vehicle orientation, lithium-ion battery and hydrogen vehicle system overviews, hazardous condition identification and management, safety aspects, IMI certification in battery dismantling and hands-on experience with battery packs.
Offered during the same two-day timeframes is a three-hour Advanced Safety Trainer class, which carries the same High Voltage Electric Vehicle Technology Online Course prerequisite as the EV Safety Technician course.
“This add-on course is designed to equip recycling and dismantling supervisors with the critical knowledge, skills and abilities to safely develop and implement protocols and procedures for safely interacting with EVs,” ISRI says. Students will receive ESA certificates of completion and Call2Recycle/U.S. Department of Transportation certification in lithium-ion battery packing and transportation requirements.

SENNEBOGEN 340G telehandler improves the view in Macon County, NC
An elevated cab is one of several features improving operational efficiency at the Macon County Solid Waste Management agency in North Carolina. When it comes to waste management, efficiency, safety and reliability are priorities driving decisions from day one, according to staff members of the Macon County Solid Waste Management Department in western North Carolina. The agency operates a recycling plant in a facility originally designed to bale incoming materials. More recently, the building has undergone significant transformations centered around one machine: a SENNEBOGEN telehandler (telescopic handler).
