The Australian Sign & Graphics Association (ASGA) has appointed fire ratings expert Glenn Hain of G Hain & H.S Kim Risk and Compliance Consulting as its new Risk and Compliance consultant. “This is a key and much needed appointment,” says ASGA GM Michael Punch.

“As a result of so many questions and a desire for current information from its members across Australia, the ASGA board has appointed Glenn Hain as its WHS Risk and Compliance consultant,” Punch says.
“Glenn will prepare general advisory material on what Building Licences are required, when Council Approval is needed, when Certificate of Installation is required. He will monitor and notify ASGA of any changes to Australian Standards or to the NCC of Australia that may affect the signage industry. Glenn will also provide advice to ASGA current financial members after they first contact the association’s head office.”
Last year, after receiving a rush of inquiries from signage companies about the new national construction code (NCC-2019), Hain compiled a guide to help navigate the new regulations and made them available to Wide Format Online.

Punch and Hain have already booked an Information Session in Adelaide on Tuesday 25th February for any SA signage companies, which will be repeated in other states over the next few weeks.
“This is a key and much needed appointment and Member benefit at a time when so many signage technicians and the whole signage industry is seeking clarification on all of the above matters," says Punch.
