Electric Vehicle Safety Training for Every Industry

Protect Your Workforce Around High-Voltage EVs: Land, Sea, and Air
As electric vehicles transform transportation, safety risks are changing too. DEKRA’s electric vehicle safety training prepares your teams to work safely around high-voltage systems in every environment: on the road, in the air, and on the water.
From aviation and automotive to maritime, construction, warehousing and industrial sectors, our EV training can be tailored to your equipment, your operations, and your team. With flexible formats, hands-on instruction, and deep industry expertise, we help ensure your workforce stays confident, compliant, and safe.
Why EV Safety Training is Critical
Electric vehicles introduce unique hazards not addressed by conventional safety protocols, including:
  • Electric Shock and Arc Flash: Risks from high-voltage systems.
  • Thermal Runaway and Fires: Dangers from battery malfunctions.
  • Chemical Exposure: Hazards from damaged battery systems.
  • Stranded Energy: Risks post-collision or water exposure.
These risks impact not only technicians but also ground support equipment (GSE) operators, warehouse personnel, facility managers, first responders, and anyone working near EVs.
