The Safety Company
  
HOME | CONSTRUCTION
Perhaps no single product symbolizes the MSA brand more than the V-Gard Hard Hat. Introduced in the early ‘60s, it is today the number one hard hat used by construction and general industry workers throughout the world. However, MSA expertise in construction safety reaches far beyond head protection. In fact, MSA is a leading supplier of many quality products that help protect construction workers every day they’re on the job. These include:

- Fall Protection Systems
- Hearing Protection
- Head Protection
- Eye Protection
- Respirators
- Hand Protection
- Skin Protection

MSA hard hats (which include caps with a front brim only or hats with a brim that goes all the way around) are designed to accommodate the use of face-shields, welding helmets, hearing protection, and other supplementary protection. Serving as a platform for noise-reducing earmuff attachments, for example, the helmets allow wearers to swing their hearing protection up and position it out of the way when it’s not needed.

With MSA’s recent acquisition of Sordin, a leading manufacturer of passive and electronic hearing protection equipment, MSA enhanced its position as a provider of leading-edge and modern hearing protective devices. These innovative products are compatible with other MSA products, including the flagship V-Gard helmet.

With workplace safety such as absolute priority in the construction industry, safety professionals must keep up with ever-changing safety standards and practices and the equipment best suited to meet them. Fall protection systems are often at the top of the list because falls are the leading cause of construction-related deaths, according to the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

Some of the largest construction contractors in the world rely on MSA for their fall protection needs, and MSA works with these contractors to develop extensive training programmes for their workers on these specific products.
