What is SEMA?

SEMA, or the UK’s Storage Equipment Manufacturers Association, promote racking safety within warehouses – from its installation, to its use within your storage space. Since its launch in 1968, SEMA has become the leading and most significant voice on safe storage practice within the UK.

SEMA is considered the professional body for the storage industry, and they make it their mission to ensure racking safety. This private organisation helps to advise all those interested in storage equipment safety.

More on what they offer…

SEMA offer distribution of safety advice, as well as training courses and Code of Practice documents on all racking processes taking place in your warehouse: from installation, to use, inspection and even disassembly of storage equipment.

The members of SEMA prioritise raising the standards within the storage industry, so naturally, a key focus of theirs is offering guides and acting as a point of reference on health and safety within warehouses and storage spaces (also known as the HSE). In fact, SEMA are also a point of reference on storage safety for the local authorities – with the ability to answer the all-important questions on the safety regulations within warehouses.

So, in essence, what they offer you is an approach to your racking system that includes safe designing (to meet SEMA’s rack regulations), safe installation processes by SEMA Accredited Installation Companies (otherwise known as SAIC). Following this, the installation must be maintained adequately by SEMA approved racking inspectors (SARI).

SEMA offer training courses, events, support and membership to cover everything warehouse safety related.
