MSA Safety

MSA Safety is the global leader in the development, manufacture, and supply of safety products that protect people and facility infrastructures. John T. Ryan and George Deike founded the company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1914 on a simple conviction: there had to be a better way to protect workers. More than a century later, MSA is still guided by its founding mission that men and women may work in safety.

MSA's fall protection line brings that century of engineering to working at height: V-FORM and V-FIT full-body harnesses, V-TEC and V-EDGE self-retracting lifelines, V-SHOCK lanyards, and the iconic V-Gard helmets trusted on jobsites worldwide. Every product is designed and tested to meet or exceed OSHA and ANSI Z359 standards. With thousands of products, hundreds of patents, and workers protected in construction, utilities, oil and gas, and general industry across the globe, MSA has earned its reputation as The Safety Company.
