RAMS Generator
Use a simple weekly estimate
This quick calculator helps teams estimate the hidden admin around RAMS creation, issue, chasing and filing. Use conservative numbers so the result is useful rather than optimistic.
The formula
weekly RAMS admin hours = jobs per week x average RAMS admin minutes per job / 60
Example: if a team handles 12 jobs per week and spends 35 minutes per job preparing, issuing, chasing and saving RAMS evidence, the weekly admin load is:
12 x 35 / 60 = 7 hours per week
What to include
- Finding or copying the right template.
- Editing scope, hazards, controls and project details.
- Sending documents for review or approval.
- Chasing signatures and acceptance.
- Filing the final document and evidence.
- Reworking documents when the job changes.
How to use the number
Multiply weekly hours by the hourly cost of the person doing the work. Then compare that cost with a controlled RAMS workflow where templates, versions, approvals and signatures are easier to manage.
How Zektrx helps
Zektrx is designed to reduce repeated RAMS admin by connecting templates, project context, approvals, issue records and signatures in one workflow.
