A S Ramsay Emphasises Vital Role of Fire Compartmentation as Lithium-Ion Battery Fires Surge

As businesses increasingly rely on lithium-ion battery technology, a new and urgent fire risk has emerged, highlighting the need for thorough safety measures. A S Ramsay, a leading fire safety building contractor specialising in fire compartmentation, emphasises its role in tackling these challenges to ensure safety and protect businesses.

The rise of lithium-ion battery use, from e-bikes and power tools to large-scale energy storage systems, has coincided with a surge in related fires. These incidents, often linked to damaged, overcharged, or improperly stored batteries, run the risk of fires and explosions.

Jamie Godman, Managing Director at A S Ramsay, commented, "With the growing use of lithium-ion batteries, businesses must prioritise staying current on fire safety guidelines. Failing to address emerging risks like battery fires isn’t just an issue of safety; it also carries significant legal and reputational consequences, and it can directly endanger businesses, staff and assets. A S Ramsay is ready to provide you with the expertise and solutions you need to tackle these fire safety challenges and protect your businesses against potential damage.”

A S Ramsay offers a range of fire compartmentation services, including fire door installation and maintenance, fire stopping, and integration with access control and fire detection systems. These services directly assist businesses in fulfilling their legal obligations under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which requires regular fire risk assessments and the implementation of hazard mitigation measures. Failing to address these emerging risks can lead to severe consequences.

A S Ramsay urges businesses to review their fire risk assessments to incorporate the rising threat of lithium-ion battery hazards. Their experts can assist in designing and installing robust fire compartmentation around charging stations, battery storage, and other high-risk areas, ensuring that appropriate fire-rated barriers are in place.

A S Ramsay Group is a leading provider of External Block Restoration, Cladding Remediation Projects, and Fire Safety Services, including fire door installation, advanced fire detection and control systems, and fire door surveys across London and the South East. As construction output continues to rise, A S Ramsay Group remains at the forefront, driving the industry’s sustained growth.
