PITTSBURGH, Sept. 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovative safety solutions can
come in many forms, ranging from head protection that features the
latest technology to help protect against lateral impacts to
connected technology that alerts workers to dangerous conditions.
For 110 years, MSA Safety, Inc. (NYSE: MSA) has been at the
forefront of safety innovation by developing solutions that help to
keep workers protected, connected and more productive on worksites
around the world. This week, MSA Safety will be showcasing these
latest solutions, including a new safety helmet and shared alerts
for portable gas detection, during the 2024 National Safety
Congress & Expo (NSC), in Orlando,
Florida, from September 16th through
18th.
MSA Safety's full range of leading head protection solutions
will be on display at NSC this year. Anchored by the iconic
V-Gard® Hard Hat, NSC attendees can explore the Type I
and Type II head protection solution that best suits their
application needs, including the new V-Gard H2™
Safety Helmet.
The V-Gard H2 Safety Helmet meets ANSI Type II certification,
includes an integrated 4-point chinstrap for enhanced protection
against lateral impacts, and has extensive accessory compatibility
with nearly all V-Gard H1™ and V-Gard accessories. It also features
the option to include the Mips® brain protection system
for industrial safety helmets that can help to reduce rotational
motion and provide an extra layer of protection against certain
types of brain trauma injuries.
The V-Gard H2 Safety Helmet joins MSA Safety's pioneering
innovations in head protection that include the V-Gard
C1™ Hard Hat, that can help to alleviate heat stress for
workers in industries where heat stress from sun exposure is a
concern, and V-Gard GREEN Hard Hat, which is made from renewable
sugarcane-based ethanol.
"Our singular focus is helping to keep workers safe on the job,"
said Stephanie Sciullo, President of
MSA Americas. "As a long-standing leader in industrial head
protection, we're innovators working alongside our customers to
develop solutions that meet their unique challenges. Our expertise
and extensive portfolio offer versatility and extensive
customization options to help our customers keep their workers
safe."
From head protection to connected technology, also making its
debut at NSC this year is MSA Grid Shared Alerts. As the
latest enhancement to the MSA Connected Work Platform, Grid
Shared Alerts allow instant notification to the ALTAIR
io™ 4 Gas Detection Wearable and MSA Grid, indicating
when a team member or someone working nearby has triggered an
alarm, therefore helping to enable a swift response to emergency
situations. The Connected Work Platform is powered by the ALTAIR io
4 gas detector, and with its direct-to-cloud design, the ALTAIR io
4 detector seamlessly connects with MSA Grid cloud-based software
and the ALTAIR io™ Dock to deliver real-time visibility to help
enhance worker safety.
Workers can receive notifications of three different Shared
Alerts, including gas alarms, motion alarms, and worker emergency
alarms. Shared Alerts extend the capabilities of the Connected Work
Platform as a fully connected safety solution – one that is
designed to provide data analytics to help increase compliance,
better manage device fleets and increase visibility into worker
safety.
"We best serve our customers through innovative safety
technologies that are helping to solve our customers' greatest
safety challenges while increasing compliance and efficiency,"
Sciullo said. "At this year's National Safety Congress, you'll see
how MSA Safety is using technology to enhance safety and integrate
sustainability into our industry-leading products and solutions,
which are helping to protect the world's workers and
workplaces."
To further explore the impacts of connected work, conference
attendees are invited to join MSA Safety for a special session in
the NSC Learning Lab called "The Benefits of Connected Gas
Detection: Visibility, Compliance, and Accountability."
Taking place on Tuesday, Sept. 17, at
10:30 a.m., MSA Safety Connected
Services and Solutions Manager Anne
Osbourn and MSA Safety Connected Work Product Platform
Director Chris Borneo will discuss
how a connected safety program can help improve worker and jobsite
awareness and visibility to reduce risk, increase operational
efficiency, and improve accountability to reach long-term safety
and environmental goals.
In addition, NSC attendees can experience MSA Safety's broad
range of respiratory protection, fall protection and portable gas
detection solutions. New this year in the respiratory protection
portfolio, attendees can learn more about MSA being the exclusive
North American distributor of optrel® Powered Air
Purifying Respirators (PAPRs).
