4 DANGER The vehicle recycling industry is generally unaware of the dangers High Voltage vehicles pose DOES SOMEONE NEED TO BE KILLED BEFORE THEY REACT? Everyone in the industry needs to make safety awareness the number one priority

5 Why? Toyota have sold over 10million hybrids and produced 30 different models EU emission regulations of 95g/km mean most manufacturers will need hybrid or full electric models in their range 2020 Predictions - 85million vehicles will be sold worldwide, over 40% will have some form of electric propulsion - full electric, hybrid or fuel cell. Handle it wrongly and it will kill you

6 Safe Working on Electric and Hybrids Electric and Hybrid vehicles use High Voltage Electricity and as such represent a very high risk of injury or death through electric shock if not worked on correctly. Electric and Hybrid Vehicles can have a voltage in excess of 500Volts Electric and Hybrid vehicles have highly magnetic components and appropriate care must be taken. Appropriate First Aid Training is necessary Manual Handling Guidelines must be followed

17 Best Practice - before collecting vehicles Train drivers how to identify risks from these vehicles and processes required to make vehicles safe. PPE and Neutralising kit should be available to drivers at all times and they have received training in how to use them. Identify Electric and Hybrid vehicle prior to collection. Investigate type of incident and damage sustained (flood, fire, accident damage) Assess likelihood of battery damage (has vehicle sustained damage to area of vehicle where battery is housed etc). Warn Driver of potential risks.

18 Best Practice - Collecting Vehicles Utilise PPE Assess vehicle condition and damage sustained prior to loading vehicle. Check battery status, including potential for any damage - inspect battery for physical damage, leakage or thermal incident (fire or discolouration of HV cables). Telephone for advice if necessary Complete neutralisation of any spilt battery fluid If necessary, de-energise vehicle. If unsure - LEAVE IT WHERE IT IS and get a specialist.

19 Best Practice on site Suitable tools and PPE available Access to vehicle information resource (see below) Re-Assess vehicle for potential HV battery or HV system damage - inspect battery for physical damage, leakage or thermal incident (fire or discolouration of HV cables). Mark vehicle with appropriate warning signs If safe - de-energise vehicle, if unsure seek advice before de-energising Once de-energised store vehicle on flat ground or suitable racking Train staff how to handle vehicle correctly to avoid any further damage to HV systems, and only trained staff allowed to work on vehicle until it is deemed safe. If a flood damaged vehicle, lift one end of the vehicle to drain as much water as possible prior to storage.

22 Best Practice when dismantling Suitable tools and PPE available Never work on vehicle alone - always have colleagues around just in case Manual handling guidelines must be followed Follow manufacturers guidelines or other resource when dismantling vehicle Only trained staff allowed to work on vehicle until it is deemed safe. Store battery appropriately - never mix battery types, store in the same orientation as when in the vehicle, store in such a manner that they cannot fall, or have anything fall on them.
