Start with repeated weekly tasks
Compliance admin is often hidden inside small repeated tasks. Chasing signatures, updating registers, finding evidence and preparing reports can add up quickly across jobs.
The calculation
weekly admin cost = weekly admin hours x hourly cost
Break weekly admin hours into common buckets:
- RAMS creation and issue.
- Permit checks and close-out.
- Training matrix updates.
- Audit and inspection actions.
- Evidence chasing and report building.
- Subcontractor or supplier document checks.
Example
If the team spends 11 hours per week on compliance admin and the blended hourly cost is 28:
11 x 28 = 308 per week
Multiply that by working weeks in the year to see the annual admin pressure.
Use the number carefully
The aim is not to remove all admin. The useful question is how much repeated chasing can be replaced with structured workflows, reminders, approvals and exports.
