How do you keep 22,000 employees in 12 states safe and get them back on the job quickly after an injury when they work for one of the country's largest electric companies, featuring power-generating facilities, miles of transmission and circuit lines, 10,600 vehicles, three airplanes, 52 tug boats, 2,300 barges, 7,000 rail cars, and a maintenance facility?
It helps to have an advocate like Loyd A. Hudson, integrated disability manager for American Electric Power Company in Heath, Ohio, whose “zero harm” loss control policy complements AEP's program to tackle work- and non-job-related absences under one umbrella program.
Over the past dozen years, AEP has cut its workers' comp compensation costs in half–from $16 million annually to $8 million–all while growing the employee population via mergers and acquisitions.
