SEMA Technical Bulletins
Technical Bulletins
As a warehouse owner, do you need support with pallet racking safety guidelines? We have approved and adopted without compromise, through technical standardisation. SEMA has led on the best practice of rack safety. Many of our safety outputs are adopted nationally, across Europe and the world over.
Pallet Racking Safety Guidelines
SEMA's definitive work is formalised into a set of technical bulletins, SEMA code of practice and guides that are certainly not just for technicians and engineers but are of direct relevance to those with a management safety role. Together with training as well as installation and use of storage equipment manufactured and supplied by our members, these pallet racking safety guidelines or “codes of honour” as we call them, provide a framework for the safe design use, and rack inspection of storage systems.
