SEMA - Code of Practice

SEMA-Compliant Warehouse Signs & Rack Load Notices

At Viking Signs, we understand that strict compliance with SEMA (Storage Equipment Manufacturers' Association) standards is essential for maintaining a safe, legal, and well-organised storage environment. Whether your facility is based locally near our Grantham headquarters or anywhere across the UK or even across the Globe, clear and accurate signage plays a critical role in ensuring your warehouse racking and storage systems meet the required code of practice.

Our durable, regulation-ready SEMA signs are designed to help you communicate crucial safety data clearly and effectively to your warehouse staff.

Our SEMA Signage Range Includes:

  •  Rack Load Notices: Clear weight limits and loading instructions to prevent rack collapses.
  •  Aisle Markers: High-visibility navigation for efficient and safe forklift operation.
  •  Safety Warnings: Hazard alerts tailored for industrial and warehouse environments.

Understanding SEMA Load Notices (The 3-Part Structure)

To meet SEMA guidelines and ensure immediate clarity for workers, our standard rack load notices are explicitly divided into three mandatory sections:

  1.  Safety Symbols & Text: Industry-standard icons detailing warnings, strict prohibitions, and mandatory actions (e.g., "Do not climb racking").
  2.  Specific Load Data: Customisable fields displaying the precise maximum safe loads for your specific racking configuration.
  3.  Administrative Information: Dedicated space for supplier details, inspection dates, and emergency contact information.
