The first step to conduct a safety risk assessment is to identify potential hazards. In the case of carriage of lithium batteries as cargo, here are some examples of potential hazards that can be found: large volume of e-commerce parcels containing high capacity lithium batteries that are packed in plastic bags or simply undeclared.
outreach and awareness. Due to the common use of lithium batteries for powering electronic devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops and mobility aids, and the possibility of having substandard batteries on board, incidents may occur in both the cabin and baggage.
come with significant safety risks. Risks increase during transport, handling, use, charging and storage. Potential hazards include fire, explosion, and toxic gas releases. Compliance with safety best practices is essential to minimise risks. related to lithium battery use. in the past year across Australia (from January 2023 to January 2024).
Enhanced packaging standards for lithium batteries are being evaluated by regulators and packaging manufacturers to make compliant consignments even safer. However, they will have no effect on the biggest danger, which is non-compliant and undeclared batteries.
According to industry research, bulk quantities of lithium batteries carried in cargo may represent higher risk. In support of this finding, IATA has created a guidance document to help operators conduct a Safety Risk Assessment (SRA) for the carriage of lithium batteries as cargo.
High density shipments of lithium batteries, even if packed and transported in accordance with the existing regulations, could originate or contribute to the development of a cargo fire that may exceed the limited capabilities of cargo compartment fire protection systems.
