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.”

Making Sure Tomorrow Is Even Safer Than Today

Our product development teams are constantly refining designs, scrupulously analyzing internal testing and Alpha and Beta consumer evaluations. We use three-dimensional ZPrinting, fused deposition modeling, and stereolithography to create continually evolving prototypes.

Once a product is ready for release, it must pass one final rigorous review process and a tough line of questioning: Have all design review issues been addressed? Does the product meet MSA’s standard of excellence? Have all approvals been secured? Can it be manufactured at a cost that provides genuine value to a customer? If the answer is “yes” to these and other questions, only then is the product ready to bear the MSA name.
