Charger room safety

GNB offers factories and warehouses that use traction batteries a dedicated 'Health and Safety Station' which can be wall-mounted in the charger room. It contains equipment to help protect workers as well as emergency items for use in the event of an accident.

The purpose-designed station contains essential clothing and equipment for use during main - tenance and topping off operations, such as rubber gloves, face visor, breathing masks, eyewash and soda ash to neutralise acid spills. One safety station is recommended for up to 20 batteries in a charging area.

GNB can also advise managers on their obligations towards employee safety in the charger room, as well as offering free posters on correct working practices.
