MSA – The Mine Safety Company – began in 1914 by John T. Ryan and George H. Deike in an effort to make mining safer for the workers. Follow this blog as we explore some of MSA’s storied history and introduce you to the many quality products they have available to make your workplace safer. MSA’s mission is “That men and women may work in safety and that they, their families, and their communities may live in health throughout the world.”
There’s a reason MSA is known worldwide as “The Safety Company.” It’s because we harness precision engineering to craft the highest-quality safety products possible so people across the world are able to work in the safest environments possible.
Put simply, safety is our mission. We believe that concepting, designing, and building the best safety solutions means we must look beyond the bottom line. For starters, we invest more resources in safety research and engineering than any other company in our industry. Because we realize that our gear plays a crucial role for workers across the world. We know that the FireHawk® M7 Air Mask isn’t just another tool – it’s often the life-saving barrier between a firefighter and a scorching cloud of toxic fumes. And a Gravity® Harness is much more than a collection of straps and buckles – it may well save a construction worker from a deadly fall.
We’re proud of the work we do and we stand behind every product we make. Because we know people rely on us to protect their health and well-being. We work hard to earn the trust of our customers, and everything we do goes toward exceeding people’s expectations. As we often say at MSA, we make the world safer … one person at a time.

The full face mask series Advantage 3000 provides both protection and unparalleled comfort. The soft sealing line made of hypoallergenic silicone provides a pressure free fit. The large, optically corrected lens ensures a clear, undistorted view, while the grey-blue colour gives the mask an aesthetic appearance. Donning the Advantage 3000 is unbelievably quick, simple and accomplished without painful hair pulling. The patented Advantage head harness gives a perfect face piece-to-face fit.
Precision crafted to cover a wide variety of respiratory applications, our Advantage 4100 Facepiece works with several different MSA respirators to provide comfortable, cost-efficient performance. The facepiece is compatible with several MSA respirator models, including air-purifying respirators, supplied-air respirators and powered air-purifying respirators. Available in both silicone and Hycar, this unit comes in three standard sizes for a snug fit. The facepiece also features a rubber or net harness, and every mask features a standard nosecup for reduced fogging in low-temperature or high-moisture environments.
Combining state-of-the-art features with MSA's precision engineering, the Ultra Elite full-face mask is our top model in this range. The ergonomic design makes this a comfortable unit, while the 5-point harness makes it easy to put it on or take it off. The distortion-free coated lens provides a wide field of vision, while the unique airflow prevents lens misting. The face blank has a single-sealing flange and comes in rubber or silicone, while the speech diaphragm makes communication easy to discern. The model has more than 40 different versions, making it the perfect mask for many different applications.
With its UniBond over-mold facepiece, AnthroCurve™ face seal, and low profile design, the Advantage 420 Respirator is the superior option for respiratory protection. The over-mold facepiece and face seal ensure the unit provides an excellent fit and comfort to the wearer. The unique yoke and harness design (patent pending) allows a user to easily don and doff the state-of-the-art respirator while maintaining a customized fit. Other features include a ComforTop headband, a built-in moisture release chin cup hole, and the extra-wide head and neck straps.

The soft, pliable combination of rubber and plastic provides a customised and pressure-free fit, instantly conforming to the wearer’s unique facial characteristics.

The SoftFeel® facepiece of the Comfo Classic Half-Mask Respirator makes this unit dramatically more comfortable.

The unit's unique face seal design also provides an exceptional fit.
