The Lowdown on Lithium: Training is Indispensable to Understanding and Managing Regulations When Shipping Batteries
Lithium batteries are everywhere. Well, at least that is how it seems. However, as retailers expand their fulfillment options as they increasingly turn to an omnichannel shipping strategy, more people that are inexperienced and untrained in handling dangerous goods are responsible for shipping them.
Join us as we partner with our dangerous-goods technology partner, Labelmaster, for this important webinar. In about 10 minutes, we’ll review some of the most critical dangerous goods regulations concerning lithium batteries that took effect in 2021 and how the right technology can help you manage them whether you are shipping from stores, warehouses, or distribution centers, including:
- Changes to shipping Lithium batteries by air
- Managing Lithium batteries in an omnichannel shipping environment
- Labelmaster’s new 3D dangerous goods training
