MSA Safety Incorporated released its latest impact report showing the company’s safety products and solutions help protect an estimated 40 million people worldwide each year.
The Pittsburgh-based safety equipment manufacturer highlighted its 110-year history of workplace protection in the 2024 report, which covers three focus areas: products and solutions, people, and planet.
New safety innovations highlighted
The report showcases recent product innovations including the V-Gard H2 Hard Hat, which uses new technology to protect against lateral impacts and includes optional venting for improved airflow and heat stress reduction.
MSA Safety also highlighted its Bacharach Parasense Connected Enterprise Platform, which provides early leak detection and analytics for refrigerant systems. The platform reduces paperwork, reporting and compliance costs for customers.
The company featured the Cairns 1836 Traditional Fire Helmet, which has a lightweight design and lower profile for enhanced comfort while maintaining safety standards.
Company focuses on workforce diversity
“In 2024, MSA Safety hit a milestone – 110 years dedicated to helping protect the world’s workers and workplaces,” said Steve Blanco, MSA Safety president and chief executive officer. “While the challenges and hazards facing our customers have evolved over time, our commitment to delivering best-in-class safety products and solutions remains steadfast.”
The report describes MSA Mosaic, an initiative that promotes workplace inclusion and values the uniqueness of every employee. The program aims to create a supportive environment where team members can contribute to the company’s safety mission.
Environmental goals outlined
MSA Safety is working toward a 42 percent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, aligned with a 1.5-degree Celsius carbon reduction target. The company is investing in sustainable infrastructure and renewable energy to reach this goal.
“Our impact as an organization is measured by the trust we earn and the worker lives we help protect around the world,” said Stephanie Sciullo, president of MSA Americas and executive sponsor of the company’s impact strategy.
MSA Safety reported $1.8 billion in revenue for 2024 and employs over 5,000 people across more than 40 international locations.
