Gist: Redefining Health and Safety Standards
Find out how Astutis trained over 900 workers in the Gist organisation to establish a sounder health and safety footing.
Course
Background
Transforming supply chains since 1961, Gist pride themselves in working with their customers to deliver innovative solutions and transform supply chains. They have a proven track record spanning more than 50 years. Deploying industry-leading expertise in global supply chains, creating a competitive advantage for their customers by bringing end-to-end visibility and implementation, along with environmental benefits.
They work with market-leading businesses, including Marks & Spencer, Tesco, Morrisons, Waitrose and Starbucks.
Challenges
Initially, in 2016 Gist enquired about a single Delegate enrolling on one of our Public courses. Since that point, and this has grown by Astutis delivering health, safety and environment training to over 1000 Personnel.
Gist cited operational insufficiency regarding health and safety standards as their prime reasoning for reaching out to Astutis. Safety drives Gist in their core values, and Gist saw their health and safety standards in reach with Astutis.
Results
Astutis has upskilled approximately 900 Employees Online alone, trained to IOSH Managing Safely level. We also provided day to day Account Management support. SLA’s are in place to provide an excellent standard of service.
Gist was delighted with the results of their training with Astutis. Gist inform us they have continued to reap the rewards of the training with us and therefore have looked to introduce more training into their company. Astutis has incorporated a major online rollout of online training to Warehousing and Driver Personnel within a specific timescale to help Gist meet regulatory deadlines. Since the inception of our partnership with Gist, we have trained through other Astutis courses, including CDM, NEBOSH Diploma for Occupational Health and Safety Management Professionals, NEBOSH General Certificate, IEMA Environmental courses and Refresher training. As of early 2022, Astutis and Gist are developing a Safe bespoke working in Warehousing and Logistics course.

"The tutor was excellent, and the course was designed so that the information was easy to digest and understand through real-life scenarios. The problem-based learning approach and active participation in classroom discussions and homework exercises helped me pass the exam on my first attempt."

"The two weeks of comprehensive in-class training, coupled with the gaps between the exams, provided ample time for preparation and reflection on what I learned in the classroom. NG2 was very interesting, and the classroom exercises helped me grasp the theme of assessment, specifically how (RMs) were assessed."

"The online learning portal was easy and straight forward to use, it was well laid out and had fantastic online resource sections which were great for printing out to have to hand - especially handy for highlighting important points. I had purchased the NEBOSH Managing Health and Safety book to help with my study, but in all honesty, the information in the portal covered all the relevant material anyway. I only needed to phone for assistance on a couple of occasions, but found the guidance helpful and quick."

"Having a secondary role at work as a Health and Safety coordinator means passing the NEBOSH General Certificate is a great indication of the knowledge and understanding I have achieved so far. This is a staple qualification in this field and I now have the confidence to venture into Health and Safety in a more primary role and as a progression of career."
