Slough, Berkshire ~ Business Services
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

Automatic gate systems need to be carefully planned and expertly installed to ensure they will give you very many years of reliable service under all weather conditions.

Before we visit you to talk through what system would be most suitable you should consider all the points mentioned on the previous page so that these can be discussed with our surveyor and taken into account in the system design and costing.

Our systems can be fitted to existing gates or new gates. They can swing, slide and have one or more leafs with activation equipment fitted to the gate or underground.

Remember also that existing piers may require modification, an electrical supply will be needed as may alterations to the driveway. In a conservation area, or for installation on a listed building planning permission may well be required.

Following acceptance of our quotation it is policy that you will deal with just one person who will be responsible for seeing that our engineers carry out the work as scheduled and to your satisfaction.
