MSA Safety Incorporated was established in 1914, as a response to the Jed Mine in West Virginia exploding in 1912. In a flash, methane gas ignited and more than 80 miners lost their lives. From this tragedy, mine engineer John T. Ryan Sr. had an epiphany: “If I could spend my life doing what I can to lessen the likelihood of the occurrence of such terrible disasters, I shall feel in the end that my life had been well spent.”
Since this tragedy, MSA has become a worldwide leader in the development, manufacture, and supply of safety products designed to protect people and facility infrastructures. With a mission to ensure the safety of everyone at work, as well as the health of their families and communities worldwide, MSA Safety has built a reputation for excellence and innovation in the safety industry.
In the decades that have come and gone, MSA has continued to lead the charge for workplace safety. Leading the way with small first-aid kits and portable methane detectors, and harnessed new technologies to produce state-of-the-art thermal imaging cameras, ballistic helmets, and leading edge systems for gas and flame detection.
