It's based on the inevitability of error as a natural part of human behaviour and how errors are symptoms of deeper issues within organizational and operational systems.

As the energy industry is growing and diversifying, so are its needs—and lithium batteries meet many of them. Their high energy density provides larger and longer-lasting amounts of energy than other batteries. Despite their common use in various consumer and industry products, lithium batteries still pose several hazards, primarily fires and explosions.

Legislative and regulatory changes for the energy industry are regularly issued at federal, provincial and municipal levels, and organizations need to be forward-looking and ready to comply.
