ASGA has released a number of handy calculators to help Member businesses save time and ensure accuracy across some common job processes.

The new resources, which are available via the Member Portal at signs.org.au include:

• Weight of Materials Calculator
• Estimated Lightbox Brightness Calculator
• Max Lengths for Hook Up Cables Calculator
• Concrete Calculator
• Expansion of Materials Calculator
• Viewing Distances for Text Calculator

According to ASGA President, Mick Harrold, the calculators are just one more tool designed to help ASGA Members save time and make it easier to deliver great work and comply with an increasingly regulated environment.

“Calculating the various elements involved in a job can take a lot of time,” Mick points out, “and with the wide variety of work handled by many businesses in the industry, it’s not uncommon for even seasoned professionals to have to pause to try and remember the right way to calculate things – like how much concrete is needed for a particular purpose, how different materials expand, or what a finished product might weigh.

“With these newly-released calculators, you can cut that investment in time and resources, and make the process easier as they’ve been designed specifically for our sector, as a handy ‘ready reference’ tool to help industry professionals make good calculations, quickly.”

The calculators join a wide range of member resources, from HR, employment and legal resources and templates and Workplace Advice Line, to WHS documentation, regulation and technical support, a WHS Advice Line, webinar recordings and more.

“Businesses across our sector are involved in producing a very diverse range of products, and business owners all bring different skills and experience to their roles,” Mick says.

“Our job as the industry association is to support those businesses – whether they are small or large, short on staff or well-resourced, highly experienced or just starting out – to deliver good, consistent and compliant work and to do so in a way which is efficient and profitable. That’s how we build a stronger industry.”
