Recognizing this gap, International Auto Consulting founder Greg Aguilera developed a safety certification course tailored for the recycling sector. He recently worked with Eric McDonald, general manager of Bodyline Auto Recyclers, after McDonald’s facility experienced a fire caused by an EV battery. Allison Rogers: Greg, why did you decide to create EV safety training specifically for recyclers? Eric McDonald: We thought a vehicle’s battery had been removed, but a material handler hit it and caused an arc. GA: If you’re interested in EV training, reach out to me on LinkedIn (Greg Aguilera), via email at [email protected], or through intautoconsulting.com.
