The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has launched a new webpage to help those involved in the life-cycle of battery energy storage systems (BESS)—including designers, installers, and operators—understand their health and safety responsibilities.
Key regulations that apply to BESS include:
- Health and Safety at Work Act – Ensures a safe working environment.
- Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations – Covers the safe handling of hazardous materials.
- Electricity at Work Regulations – Ensures electrical systems are safe to use and maintain.
The webpage provides guidance on managing health and safety risks for BESS, along with links to other government departments for information on planning permission, environmental protection, and fire safety notifications.
For more details, visit the HSE webpage.
