Manufacturing Dividend

The Plan :

_01 Conducting a Risk Control Assessment to help identify and prioritize the action plan
_02 Formalize a Safety-Committee and have OVD participate as an active member
_03 Train all supervisors on Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)
_04 Conduct an Ergonomics Assessment and training at all locations
_05 Continued recurring training for all supervisors

The Agent and Claims Team at OVD focused on educating the client and establishing a claims management process that included:

• Early reporting of all claims
• Establishing and educating supervisors on a transitional return to work policy
• Create a light duty job bank that could accomodate almost all restrictions
• Recurring claims review meetings

Result

The hard work began to pay off for the client after year one – OVD presented a Dividend Workers’ Comp
program which ended up paying back 23% (just over $71,000) of the total annual premium. The experience
mod continued to decrease in each new year. Within 4 years, the client’s experience mod dropped from a
1.74 to a.63 – which resulted in their Workers’ Comp cost decreasing by over 65%.
