Collaboration, tripartite

The twisted nematic liquid crystal display (TN-LCD) was reported by Schadt and Helfrich of F. Hoffman-La Roche in Basle, Switzerland in 1970. This was part of a tripartite collaboration between F. Hoffman-La Roche in Basle, Brown Boveri of Baden and Ebauche in Neuchatel, all in Switzerland. The intention was to design and develop flat panel displays, e.g. for digital watches.

Through further systematic development of methods and base data, these reports helped employers, unions and government to monitor trends in risk level in the industry through their established tripartite collaboration. The reports also made an important contribution to a joint understanding of changes in risk levels and thereby also identification of measures to improve the level of risk and analyse the effects of corrective actions taken by the responsible parties.

By contacting the involved parties in order to evaluate the problems, the NPD also used the accident as an occasion to maintain and reconfirm tripartite collaboration on HSE. 

In 2001, a new major collaborative project called Working Together for Safety was launched.
