05.2 EV Secondary Response training

EV safety training for road managers, tow, salvage, repair and wrecking

It's important for all responders to be aware that electric vehicles pose a risk of secondary or delayed ignition, hours, days or even weeks after the initial incident. Our research indicates secondary ignition occurs in around 5% of all cases, and has caused injuries and property losses to tow truck operators and salvage yards.

Our EV Secondary Response training provides data-driven knowledge for this sector, and provides the tools and techniques needed to identify and mitigate your risk, including the EVABC™ system.
