Host: Richard Baker\, Executive Director - IS AS Director - UK and Ireland Spill Association

Session plan:< /b>

14.30 \; \; \; \; - 14.40 \;&n bsp\; \;Welcome and Introductions - Richard Baker\, UK and Ireland Spill Association

14.40 - 1450 \; \; \; \; \;Emergi ng Risks

14.50 -15 .20 \; \; \; \; Chemical Spill Case Study: \;&n bsp\; \; \; \; Speaker: Dr Tom Richards\, Chemical &\; Poll utants Advisor – Adler &\; Allan

This case study examines a chem ical spill incident where a nail on a pallet pierced an Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) on a shipping container\, resulting in a chemical spill. T he presentation will cover the incident details\, management and remediati on efforts\, and lessons learned.

Key areas of discussion will include:

· \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Managing initial unknowns: identi fying what chemical had been spilled as multiple chemicals were present\, pinpointing the exact location and cause of the spill.

· \; \ ; \; \; \; \; \; \; Immediate Response: \;Thorough assessment to identify the spilled chemical\, implementation of safety protocols\, inclu ding entry into confined spaces with appropriate PPE and gas monitoring eq uipment to ensure a safe working environment.

· \; \; \;& nbsp\; \; \; \; \; Containment Efforts: \;Deployment of a low-height fork lift to unload products from the container in order to reach the source of the spill\, proper disposal and cleanup of the spilled chemical to prevent environmental contamin ation.

· \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Lessons Learned: \; The importance of preparedness\, clear protocols for identifying and handl ing chemical spills\, effective communication\, safety measures\, and equi pment readiness.

· \; \; \; \; \; \; \;&n bsp\; Criteria for selecting a Spil l Response Partner: \;Expertise in handling chemical s pills and environmental remediation\, availability of specialised equipmen t and trained personnel\, a proven track record in effective spill managem ent and containment.

· \; \; \; \; \; \;  \; \; First responder training< /span>: Chemical spill procedures\, hands-on drills to simulate s cenarios\, emphasis on communication and coordination during emergency res ponse.

15.20 -15.40 \; \; \; \; Emerging Risks: Lithium Ion batteries: \;Speaker: Daniel Harbour\, Scientific Advisor at OHES Environmental

This presentation discusses the growing prevalence and associated risks of lithium-ion batteries. With global demand expected to increase by 25% a nnually\, driven by advancements in technology and regulatory shifts towar ds sustainability\, the presentation highlights the principal hazards such as toxic gas emissions\, reignition\, electric shock\, and environmental contamination.

Emerging risks include higher e nergy density leading to severe failures\, the circulation of aged and cou nterfeit batteries\, and an increase in fires at disposal and recycling ce ntres. Real-world incidents\, including a significant rise in battery-rela ted fires and large insurance claims\, underscore the urgency of addressin g these risks.

Daniel also explores environmen tal risk reduction strategies\, including compliance with ADR regulations\ , proper handling and transport\, fire risk mitigation\, and effective sto rage and spill response. Additionally\, he explores emerging alternatives like sodium-ion batteries\, which offer potential benefits but also presen t new risks.
