🔋 Call for Volunteers: ASHE Battery Safety Committee

ASHE is seeking volunteers to join a new Battery Safety Committee focused on improving safety around battery technologies in health care environments.

This group will develop practical, risk-based recommended practices, analyze real-world incidents, and help align guidance with codes and standards (including NFPA 800)—all while ensuring solutions support patient care and hospital operations.

We’re looking for expertise in:

  • Facilities management

  • Clinical/biomedical engineering

  • Safety & risk (EHS)

  • Electrical, IT, telecom, or UPS systems

  • Fire protection & emergency management

  • Codes & standards

Time commitment:

  • Monthly full committee meetings (60–90 minutes)

  • Optional technical working groups (biweekly)

This is a great opportunity to collaborate across disciplines and help shape industry guidance.

Interested? Complete the volunteer form to get involved, HERE! ASHE staff will follow up with next steps.
