CALL IN THE SPECIALISTS
SAEMA chair, Karl Greenfi eld, explains the work of the association
our trade association represents companies who provide and maintain suspended access equipment that allows the façades of buildings or structures to be accessed by trades who need to carry out cleaning and ongoing maintenance. Our membership includes specialist companies who provide Temporarily Installed Access Systems and companies who provide design, installation and maintenance of bespoke Permanently Installed Building Maintenance Units (BMU), including monorails and travelling gantry systems. All our members provide ongoing preventative maintenance and testing of existing equipment. SAEMA aims:
• To encourage safe and best practice
• To co-operate with other industry bodies • To promote co-operation between members in raising standards • To help develop national and international standards, legislation and codes of practice • To develop training courses and standards
National & European Standards SAEMA’s Technical Committee discusses various aspect of design and safety related issues. In the past it has prepared SAEMA Guidance Notes on various technical subjects related to façade access systems. Members of the committee sit on the relevant BSI committees responsible for the Codes of Practice BS 5974 and BS6037 that govern the UK’s Suspended Access Equipment Industry. SAEMA members also sit on the CEN committee as nominated experts responsible for the full revision of the European standard BSEn1808, which
is the defi ning document for the design of suspended access equipment, and are also involved in the development of the new BS8560 Design for Access as well as continued support for AIF, the Access Industry Forum.
Membership SAEMA member companies cover approximately 90% of specialist supply to major new build projects in the UK. Membership continues to grow and the association is hopeful of attracting further members during the coming year, particularly those working in the temporary market and also consultants who assist designers in the production of suspended access system designs.

Training The association has recognised the requirement for minimum training standards to be implemented within the industry. In conjunction with the National Construction College we are developing an approved course for Testing, Inspection & Thorough Examination of Suspended Access Equipment. We also plan to develop end- user training with a pass card system.
