Is your office unknowingly storing a fire hazard?
Over time, aging lithium-ion batteries in laptops, smartphones, and tablets degrade. They trap gas internally, causing the battery casing to swell or bulge.
A swollen battery is under immense pressure and is highly unstable. Crushing it, piercing it, or simply leaving it in a hot storage cupboard can lead to "thermal runaway"—an intense chemical fire that is incredibly difficult to extinguish.
Do you have older IT assets stored tightly in stacks? Stacked laptops compress batteries, trapping heat and increasing the risk of structural failure.
Are any laptop keyboards or trackpads lifting? If a device's casing is warping, a bulging battery underneath is forcing it open.
Are loose batteries stored without insulated terminals? Exposed metallic contacts touching each other can short-circuit and spark.
The Verdict: If you checked any of these boxes, your storage environment carries an immediate risk. Contact our team immediately or email us directly at info@cer-wolverhampton.co.uk for safe battery containment and compliant disposal.
Under UK law, businesses have a legal duty of care to ensure all commercial electronic waste is processed through an Approved Authorised Treatment Facility (AATF). Disposing of IT equipment in general waste can result in severe penalties and unlimited fines. We provide a fully transparent audit trail, issuing mandatory Waste Transfer Notes to keep your company entirely compliant.
Mismanaged IT disposal is a primary cause of corporate data breaches. Under UK GDPR, your business remains legally responsible for customer and employee data even after a device leaves your facility. We mitigate this risk completely with data sanitization, issuing serial-linked Certificates of Data Destruction for every drive processed.
