As we move toward an integrated global community, competing economically and dependent on human resources, the concept of wasting the productive potential of millions of people with disabilities is becoming increasingly obsolete. ~ Wolfgang Zimmerman, NIDMAR
In the two years that our program has been active, we cut our lost time accident frequency by nearly half, cut our average number of employees off per day in half and reduced the number of long term disability cases from 24 to 16. ~ Jim Ritchie, MacMillan Bloedel
