Lithium-ion batteries are one type of rechargeable battery technology (other examples include sodium ion and solid state) that supplies power to many devices we use daily. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the manufacturing and industrial use of these batteries due to their superior energy storage characteristics. This increased use of lithium-ion batteries in workplaces requires an increased understanding of the health and safety hazards associated with these devices.

- OSHA Data Webpage.Enhances user accessibility and navigation of publicly available OSHA datasets. The redesign organizes all datasets in one convenient location, categorized by topic, and the new layout is consistent with other OSHA webpages, offering a clearer and more streamlined experience for users.
- The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has posted the initial Injury Tracking Application (ITA) data covering 2025 work-related injuries and illnesses submitted from 1/1/2026 through 3/15/2026. OSHA collects work-related injury and illness data from establishments that meet specific industry and employment size specifications through the ITA. Certain establishments have submitted summary data from the OSHA Form 300A since 2016. Beginning in 2024, some establishments were also required to submit certain case details from OSHA Forms 300 and 301. Both the OSHA Form 300A summary data and the 300 and 301 case detail data are available for download. See > https://www.osha.gov/Establishment-Specific-Injury-and-Illness-Data
- In order to ensure chemical safety in the workplace, information about the identities and hazards of the chemicals must be available and understandable to workers. OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) requires the development and dissemination of such information:
- Chemical manufacturers and importers are required to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import, and prepare labels and safety data sheets to convey the hazard information to their downstream customers;
- All employers with hazardous chemicals in their workplaces must have labels and safety data sheets for their exposed workers, and train them to handle the chemicals appropriately.

Final Counsel to IHMM Certificants
Dangerous goods regulation is in a “quiet but tightening” phase this week: few new binding regulations, but significant interpretive, training, enforcement, and port-of-entry developments. Liability for DG shipments will increasingly turn on whether your documentation, training, packaging, and internal controls reflect ADR 2025 / UN Rev. 24 / IMDG 42-24 / ICAO 2025–2026—even in jurisdictions that have not yet formally amended their domestic law.
