About us:

Transforming the supply chain has become a priority in the boardroom – being able to deliver what your customer wants, when and where they need it, is an absolute necessity in today’s competitive marketplace.

Gist’s 5,000 employees operate out of 40 locations, providing a full range of supply chain solutions in the UK, and globally including continental Europe, Asia Pacific, and America. Gist’s customers (which include Marks & Spencer, British Airways, Carlsberg, Bakkavör, Uniq, Dairy Crest and Linde) operate in a wide range of commercial and industrial sectors including grocery, retail, electronics and gas.

Our vision is to be our customers’ first choice for logistics innovation, excellence and partnership. Through the skills, knowledge and drive of our people we can consistently add value and deliver the best results to our customers.

At some point in your life, you will have experienced first hand the importance of logistics and supply chain management. Waiting for spare parts for your TV or car, or having to place an order for a new CD or the right sized shirt are all examples of logistics in action. The item you want must travel from the manufacturer to you but there are quite a few steps involved in between.

Logistics, put simply, is the act of getting the right things to the right place at the right time.

This can be locally or globally, involve procurement, manufacture, storage and selection from warehouses, different modes of transport, waste disposal and IT systems to know where everything is and where it is going.

A supply chain is the sequence of events that is involved in getting the goods from one place to their final destination.

A ‘one stop shop’ for employee health and health and safety issues.

About us:

As the longest established independant Occupational Health and Safety provider, Corporate Health has a tradition of service to the people who generate the wealth for the UK business. Originally set up in 1947 as the Slough Industrial Health Service, it is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee without share capital.

mission statement

* To be a leading provider of high quality and timely occupational health advice to employers across the UK.
* To provide treatment services for workers on the Slough Trading Estate and adjoining areas.
* To use our charitable status to support education and research in occupational health.

occupational health

Occupational Health is about the two-way relationship between work activities and the health of employees participating in those work activities.

Although more rigorous health and safety legislation has resulted in the virtual disappearance of many industrial diseases, the amount of time lost that is attributed to sickness is as great as ever.

Social change, new technology and new work practices have seen an increase in time lost to musculoskeletal complaints and emotional problems. Corporate Health is able to help companies and organisations to address these issues in a way that benefits worker and manager alike.

health and safety audit

Not every company has its own safety specialist. Even those that do have some in house expertise, sometimes see the need for independent corroboration of what is being done.

An independent audit will identify any weak areas where health and safety procedures are inadequate, or where resource is being wasted on ineffective or unnecessary procedures.

Details
Relates to the Health & Safety Legislation specific to a client’s business operation and environment, and is carried out by a Health & Safety specialist whose objectives are to:

* Help ensure compliance with the appropriate legislation thus avoiding penalties for non-compliance.
* Minimise the risks of crippling litigation.

It Offers:

* Review of Current Health & Safety Policy.
* Walk Around Analysis.
* Report of Findings.
* Recommendations.

The Walk Around serves as an effective reminder for those persons who may have received some past training in Risk Analysis. For others it offers useful pointers for future use in their Health & Safety roles within their companies or organisations.
