Total Access at the height of innovation – update story

After the Microshocks harness and lanyard’s success as an innovative solution to the problem of Microshocks faced by the linesmen, the University of Manchester has released a case study document. This case study brings together the research and work of Professor Simon Rowland and his student Yasir Ahmed, to tell you a little more about the process and invention of, with the help of P+P and Total Access (UK) Ltd, the Microshock harness and lanyard system.

They case study covers information about the need for the system, Quotes from Graham Burnett, CEO of Total Access (UK) Ltd and Wayne Steel, Equipment and Procedure Engineer at Nation Grid. The case study covers key questions for Professor Simon Rowland such as, was the application of the discovery/invention apparent from the outset? What were your aspirations for getting involved in the commercialisation process? Do you have any advice for colleagues thinking of licencing a discovery? And what does the future hold for the Microshock climbing protection system?
