A major battery manufacturer has resumed production at its Hungarian plant after halting operations in August due to unsafe working conditions, with employees previously found exposed to elevated nickel levels. The restart comes after an investigation into the health risks linked to the plant’s operations, raising questions about workplace safety protocols in the battery production industry. Authorities had intervened to address the contamination before allowing the facility to reopen. The incident underscores growing concerns over occupational hazards in the fast-expanding electric vehicle supply chain.
CATL restarted operations at its Debrecen battery plant following an August suspension after workers were exposed to high nickel levels.
