10:45 - 16:00 | Electric and alternative fuelled vehicles are here – are we ready?

An overview of alternative fuelled vehicles, what is here now and what is planned
FIRES – the great debate, Internal Combustion Vehicles -v- electric, are any of them really less or more likely to catch fire
What is the risk facing responders in fire or accident?
Can the fires be dealt with – can we predict an issue coming
Accidents – how do we make them safe - how can we extricate trapped persons
Just an accident, a bump – how do we recover, where to, quarantine, monitor, repair
The workplace, car park or home – what do we need to consider with a fire risk assessment
The risks, ARC injuries, explosion, projectiles, vapour cloud – can it get any worse
