Penalty Remediation Support

Are you involved in a situation where government regulators are levying civil penalties for alleged noncompliance? We can help you determine the root cause of the issue, provide training and guidance on corrective actions and represent your company to mitigate or eliminate any civil penalties.

Lithium Battery Storage Safety

The hazards posed by lithium batteries in transportation are also present during storage, use, and charging at your facility. Unlike transportation, there are not prescriptive regulations that your company must meet when storing and using lithium batteries at your facility. This often leads to confusion as to how you can protect your employees from lithium battery hazards. Using their experience developing lithium battery safety programs for clients, HSC provide guidance on best practices related to storage, use, and charging. This may include an on-site assessment and detailed report that provides suggestions on safe storage quantities, emergency response procedures, protective equipment, and steps your company can take to mitigate lithium battery hazards on-site.
