• Description:
  The authors present a case study of the successful development of an educational partnership between industrial collaborators and university researchers to promote electrical safety. For industrial and academic organisations considering a similar approach, we identify a development methodology to align people and resources to implement electrical safety education. Educational partnerships offer a bridge to speed the movement of technologies and concepts between different communities like those represented by a plant and a local hospital. This case study reviews the development of a direct R&D technology transfer educational project targeting electrical safety. Motives to partner were: to become more creative; to identify the best process and best practice; to facilitate the availability of the best care/treatment for those injured on the job through rapid technology transfer; and to specifically move electrical safety principles to a higher level of awareness for individuals, their workplaces, and their communities.
