CATL halts work in Hungary plant after nickel exposure
Hungarian authorities ordered work stopped in three cell-manufacturing areas of CATL's Debrecen battery plant after the company disclosed in early August that nine employees had elevated nickel exposure. Hajdu-Bihar county's occupational safety authority carried out three inspections between August 11 and 25 and found workers had not been adequately provided with protective equipment; CATL has suspended the ongoing commissioning of the affected equipment and says it is continuing biological exposure monitoring while it fixes the deficiencies.
