A Battery Safety Management Plan (BSMP) sets out the controls and governance required to manage credible hazards associated with Battery Energy Storage Systems throughout design, construction, commissioning, and operation. We support project teams in identifying key failure modes, including thermal runaway and flammable gas release, and ensure appropriate layers of control are in place across prevention, detection, mitigation, and response.
The BSMP typically addresses alarm and shutdown philosophy, ventilation and gas management, fire detection and suppression considerations, emergency response information, operational procedures, maintenance requirements, and change control processes.
The outcome is a clear and practical framework that supports regulatory expectations, aligns stakeholders, and promotes consistent safety management across the asset lifecycle.
