"With Video PDA®, we're looking at cost avoidance, expense reduction and revenue enhancement," says Standens Safety Manager, Peter Hollett.Since implementing a comprehensive disability management program, including Video PDA®, the Standens Health and Safety team has accomplished what had never been done in the previous seven years: reduced their lost time claims to zero for an entire quarter.

Video PDA® is a valuable communication tool enabling Standens to avoid costly work-site visits and safely return injured employees to work."Most recently, we had a slip and fall accident in the parking lot.She went to the chiropractor and when I showed him what her job was [on Video PDA®], he put her back to work right away," says Standens Safety Manager, Peter Hollett who attributes most LTCs to lack of information.

"We were looking for a tool to complement our current disability management system," says Standens Safety Manager, Peter Hollett.

They asked about the types of modified positions available," says Hollett.

In our eyes 'zero' is a real number," says Peter Hollett, manager of Safety Services at Standen's Limited, in Calgary.
